A 3835 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates an educational pamphlet regarding the importance of prostate-specific antigen testing

This bill requires New York's health commissioner to create an educational pamphlet explaining prostate cancer symptoms, risk factors, detection methods (including PSA testing accuracy), insurance coverage for screening, and treatment options. The pamphlet must be written in plain language, available in English and six common non-English languages, and provided free to healthcare providers. Providers may then give it to adult patients with a prostate who are at risk for prostate cancer or have been diagnosed, to help inform their treatment decisions. The bill does not mandate specific medical actions but ensures accessible information is available.
