N.Y. Insurance Law § 3224-c: Coordination of benefits

§ 3224-c. Coordination of benefits. An insurer or organization or

corporation licensed or certified pursuant to article forty-three or

forty-seven of this chapter or article forty-four of the public health

law shall not deny a claim, either in whole or in part, on the basis

that it is coordinating benefits and another insurer or organization or

corporation or other entity is liable for the payment of the claim,

unless it has a reasonable basis to believe that the insured has other

health insurance coverage which is primary for that benefit. If an

insurer or organization or corporation does not have current information

from the insured regarding other coverage, and requests such information

in accordance with subsection (b) of section three thousand two hundred

twenty-four-a of this article, and no information is received within

forty-five days, the claim shall be adjudicated provided, however, the

claim shall not be denied based on the insurer, or organization or

corporation not having received such information.
