Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s state-sponsored health insurance programs – SHBP, SEHBP, Medicaid, and NJ FamilyCare – to cover anti-obesity medications. To qualify for coverage, individuals must have a diagnosis of obesity or an obesity-related condition, be prescribed the medication by a qualified healthcare provider, and have it dispensed by an approved pharmacy. The bill also directs the state to seek federal approval for necessary program changes to implement this coverage.
