Overview
This bill requires health insurance plans (covering hospitals, medical expenses, or health benefits) in New Jersey to cover early-stage kidney disease screening without requiring cost-sharing like deductibles or copays. It applies to various types of insurance contracts, including those offered through the state and by the State Health Benefits Commission and School Employees’ Health Benefits Commission. The screening includes blood tests to measure estimated glomerular filtration rate or urine albumin-creatinine ratio tests, and it’s presumed medically necessary if a physician determines it’s appropriate.
