N.Y. Family Court Act § 581-604: Health insurance and medical costs

§ 581-604. Health insurance and medical costs. A person acting as

surrogate has the right to have a comprehensive health insurance policy

that covers preconception care, prenatal care, major medical treatments,

hospitalization and behavioral care for a term that extends throughout

the duration of the expected pregnancy and for twelve months after the

birth of the child, a stillbirth, a miscarriage resulting in termination

of pregnancy, or termination of the pregnancy, to be paid for by the

intended parent or parents. The intended parent or parents shall also

pay for or reimburse the person acting as surrogate for all co-payments,

deductibles and any other out-of-pocket medical costs associated with

pregnancy, childbirth, or postnatal care that accrue through twelve

months after the birth of the child, a stillbirth, a miscarriage, or the

termination of the pregnancy. A person acting as a surrogate who is

receiving no compensation may waive the right to have the intended

parent or parents make such payments or reimbursements.
