Requires Commissioner of Human Services to ensure coverage of respite care services for eligible Medicaid beneficiaries when primary payer denies coverage of such services for any reason.

This bill requires the New Jersey Commissioner of Human Services to guarantee respite care coverage for Medicaid beneficiaries when their primary insurance company denies that coverage. It ensures that eligible individuals receive respite services even if their initial insurance claim is rejected. The bill establishes procedures for the Commissioner to implement this requirement and clarifies that it doesn't change existing Medicaid eligibility rules. This aims to improve access to crucial support for families caring for individuals with disabilities or other needs.
