↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Removes prior insurer ability to exclude telehealth/store-and-forward services from coverage (by striking limiting language), broadening access to covered services including contraceptive care.
An insurer shall not exclude from coverage a service that is otherwise covered under a policy that provides comprehensive coverage for hospital, medical or surgical care, or prescription drugs because the service is delivered via telehealth or through store and forward technology, as such terms are defined in subsection (b) of this section and in section twenty-nine hundred ninety-nine-cc of the public health law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates insurance coverage for contraceptive care via telemedicine/store-and-forward technology and removes prior exclusions for such delivery methods, expanding access to contraception (classified under abortion topics per the schema). No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
