 AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to requiring health
 insurance policies include coverage for anesthesia for the duration of
 a medical procedure

 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 41 to read as follows:
 3 (41) (A) Every policy that provides coverage for hospital, surgical or
 4 medical care shall provide the coverage for anesthesia, as defined by
 5 the American Medical Association's current procedural terminology codes,
 6 for the entire duration of anesthesia time and shall not impose a limit
 7 on the time of anesthesia. For the purposes of this paragraph anesthesia
 8 time shall mean the period during which an anesthesia provider is pres-
 9 ent with the patient. Anesthesia time starts when the anesthesia provid-
 10 er begins to prepare the patient for anesthesia services in the operat-
 11 ing room or an equivalent area and ends when the anesthesia provider is
 12 no longer furnishing anesthesia services to the patient, that is, when
 13 the patient may be placed safely under postoperative or post-anesthesia
 14 care. In counting anesthesia time for services furnished, the anes-
 15 thesia provider may include blocks of time around an interruption in
 16 anesthesia time provided the anesthesia provider is furnishing contin-
 17 uous anesthesia care within the time periods around the interruption.
 18 For purposes of this subsection, anesthesia provider means those author-
 19 ized under state law and regulation to provide anesthesia services.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 3820--B 2

 1 (B) No insurer shall establish, implement, or enforce any policy,
 2 practice, or procedure that imposes a time limit for the payment of
 3 anesthesia services provided during a medical or surgical procedure.
 4 (C) Payment for anesthesia service shall be defined by the prevailing
 5 medical coding and billing standards in the professional medical billing
 6 community, including but not limited to, current American Medical Asso-
 7 ciation current procedural terminology codes, the Medicare Claims Proc-
 8 essing Manual, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists guidance.
