 13 reduce the risk of food allergies.

 15 fied or otherwise authorized to practice, and legally authorized to
 16 prescribe, under title eight of the education law.
 17 (v) "Infant" means a child who has not attained the age of one year.

 1 (2) an early peanut allergen introduction dietary supplement.
 2 (ii) The coverage required pursuant to item (i) of this subparagraph
 3 shall be provided at no cost to a covered individual, including deduct-
 4 ible payments and cost-sharing amounts charged once a deductible is met.
 5 (C) Except as provided under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, noth-
 6 ing in this paragraph shall prevent the operation of a policy provision

 14 (ii) The cost-sharing limitation under item (ii) of subparagraph (B)
