Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s health insurance plans and the state Medicaid program to cover treatment for stuttering. Specifically, it mandates coverage for services like speech therapy if a doctor or speech-language pathologist deems them medically necessary or related to a neurological or developmental condition. The coverage extends to both in-person and telehealth services. The bill also removes restrictions on prior authorization and cost-sharing for these treatments.
