Overview
This bill requires New Jersey health insurance companies to cover lead screenings for children aged 16 years or younger. It expands existing coverage beyond children under six, aiming to identify and address lead exposure in a broader age range. The legislation updates existing laws (P.L.1995, c.316 and P.L.1995, c.328) to include these expanded screening requirements and outlines procedures for healthcare providers to follow when conducting and reporting on lead screenings.
