 AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to mandatory health
 insurance coverage for providing prosthetic devices

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

 1 Section 1. Subsection (i) of section 3216 of the insurance law is
 2 amended by adding a new paragraph 40 to read as follows:
 3 (40) Every policy which provides medical, major medical, or similar
 4 comprehensive type coverage to a policyholder shall provide coverage for
 5 prosthetic devices that are intended for medically necessary rehabilita-
 6 tive and habilitative purposes as required by 42 U.S.C. § 18022. Cover-
 7 age shall include the cost of repair or replacement of prosthetic
 8 devices due to normal wear and tear, if a prosthetic device has been
 9 outgrown or no longer fits properly, or where a change in the medical
 10 condition makes replacement necessary. Coverage shall not include the
 11 costs of repair or replacement of a prosthetic device that is covered
 12 under the warranty of the manufacturer or when the repair or replacement
 13 is necessary due to misuse or negligence. The term "prosthetic device"
 14 as used in this paragraph includes an artificial limb, but shall not
 15 include shoes or any other article considered as ordinary wearing
 16 apparel, whether or not specifically constructed. The term "policyhold-
 17 er" as used in this paragraph shall mean a veteran of the armed forces
 18 who resides in the state of New York and whose medical need for such
 19 prosthetic device resulted from an injury suffered while on active duty
 20 serving in the armed forces. Such coverage shall be subject to annual
 21 deductibles and coinsurance as deemed appropriate by the superintendent.
 22 The coverage required by this paragraph shall be identical to, and shall
 23 not enhance or increase the essential health benefit coverage chosen by
 24 the state pursuant to 45 CFR 156.100. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
 25 construed to prevent the medical management or utilization review of
