A 3697 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires providers of insurance policies to maintain a database of health care providers offering foreign language services

This bill requires health insurance providers covered under the Affordable Care Act to create and maintain a publicly accessible database. The database must list healthcare providers (doctors, physicians, etc.) enrolled in their plans who offer foreign language services, including each provider's name, location, specialty, and languages spoken. It directly affects insurance companies and their policyholders by making it easier for non-English speakers to find linguistically accessible care. The requirement applies to all insurers mandated to provide foreign language services under federal law. The bill does not create new language service obligations but ensures existing provider information is organized and available to customers.
