Insurance must cover dyslexia exams

New York policies and contracts covering doctor services, medical care, or similar comprehensive care must cover comprehensive neuropsychological exams for dyslexia. A doctor must refer the patient. The examiner must be licensed, certified, or authorized under New York's education law and work within their allowed practice. Insurers cannot exclude screening, diagnosis, or treatment of medical conditions the plan otherwise covers. Medical review and participating-provider rules can still apply. The law takes effect on the same date and in the same manner as the related 2024 dyslexia coverage amendments.
