 relation to reimbursement for anesthesia services

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The insurance law is amended by adding a new section 3246
 2 to read as follows:
 3 § 3246. Reimbursement for anesthesia services. (a) An insurer issuing
 4 a policy of hospital, medical, or surgical expense insurance pursuant to
 5 this section or any other section of law shall not impose arbitrary time
 6 caps on reimbursement for anesthesia services provided during medically
 7 necessary procedures.
 8 (b) Reimbursement for anesthesia services shall be determined based on
 9 medical necessity as determined by the insurer, taking into consider-
 10 ation the complexity of the procedure as evidenced by the submission of
 11 medical records submitted by the attending anesthesiologist or licensed
 12 anesthesia provider.
 13 (c) (1) An insurer issuing a policy of hospital, medical, or surgical
 14 expense insurance pursuant to this section or any other section of law
 15 shall be prohibited from denying payment for anesthesia services solely
 16 because the duration of care exceeded a pre-set time limit.
 17 (2) Notwithstanding paragraph one of this subsection, an insurer may
 18 use a time related reimbursement methodology for anesthesia services if
 19 such methodology is based upon criteria established by an independent
 20 organization, including the criteria used by the centers for Medicare
 21 and Medicaid services to reimburse anesthesia services under title XVIII
 22 of the United States Social Security Act (Medicare). If an insurer uses
 23 a time related reimbursement methodology, it should have an established
 24 process for the submission of additional medical records and the sharing
