Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey health insurance carriers to provide coverage for individuals under 18 who have been diagnosed with complex medical needs. It mandates that these carriers cover expenses related to medical services, procedures, testing, nursing care, and medical equipment or prescription drugs, as determined by a licensed healthcare provider. The bill also streamlines the approval process for these benefits, requiring carriers to approve them within three days of receiving a request from a healthcare provider and preventing pre-approval requirements unless the service is otherwise covered.
