NY Ment Hygiene L § 30.01 (2021)
2021 New York Laws MHY - Mental Hygiene Title E - General Provisions Article 30 - Comprehensive Care Centers for Eating Disorders 30.01 - Legislative Findings.

§ 30.01 Legislative findings.The  legislature  hereby  finds that effective diagnosis and treatment   for citizens struggling with eating disorders, a complex and potentially   life-threatening condition, requires a  continuum  of  interdisciplinary   providers  and  levels  of  care. Such effective diagnosis and treatment   further requires the coordination and  comprehensive  management  of  an   individualized  plan of care specifically oriented to the distinct needs   of each individual.The legislature further finds that, while there  are  numerous  health   care providers in the state with expertise in eating disorder treatment,   there is no generally accessible, comprehensive system for responding to   these  disorders. Due to the lack of such a system the legislature finds   that treatment, information/referral, prevention and research activities   are  fragmented  and  incomplete.  In  addition,  due  to   the   broad,   multifaceted  needs  of  individuals  with  eating  disorders, insurance   payments for the  necessary  plan  of  care  and  providers  is  usually   fragmented  as  well,  leaving  citizens  with insufficient coverage for   essential services and, therefore,  at  risk  of  incomplete  treatment,   relapse, deterioration and potential death.The legislature therefore declares that the state take positive action   to  facilitate  the  development  and  public identification of provider   networks and care  centers  of  excellence  to  provide  a  coordinated,   comprehensive  system for the treatment of such disorders, as well as to   conduct  community  education,  prevention,   information/referral   and   research  activities.  The  legislature  further  declares  that  health   coverage by insurers and health maintenance organizations should include   covered services provided through such centers and that, to  the  extent   possible and practicable, health plan reimbursement should be structured   in   a  manner  to  facilitate  the  individualized,  comprehensive  and   integrated plans of care which such centers are required to provide.

(b)   "Comprehensive   care   centers   for   eating   disorders"   or "comprehensive  care centers" means a provider-sponsored system of care, organized by either corporate affiliation or  clinical  association  for the  common  purpose  of providing a coordinated, individualized plan of care for an individual with an eating disorder, across a continuum  that includes all necessary non-institutional, institutional and practitioner services  and treatments, from initial patient screening and evaluation, to treatment, follow-up care and support.
