Summary
This bill modifies New York law regarding when patients must provide consent for payment of certain medical services. Currently, patient consent for payment must occur after the medical services are administered; this bill removes that restriction. The bill requires the state Superintendent of Financial Services and the Commissioner of Health to develop a uniform consent form that healthcare providers must use. Any consent form that does not conform to this uniform state form is prohibited and unenforceable. Specific details about which services are covered and what the uniform form will require are not included in the available summary.
