S 7845 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Provides for the issuance of pet insurance

This bill establishes a legal framework for pet insurance policies in New York State by defining key terms such as preexisting conditions, chronic illnesses, and orthopedic issues. It requires insurance companies to clearly disclose how they calculate claim payments, list specific exclusions, and provide consumers with a 30-day "free look" period to review and return policies without penalty. Additionally, the legislation mandates that insurers make their definitions and payment formulas easily accessible on their websites to ensure transparency for policyholders.
