Bill > A1844

This bill requires health insurers in New Jersey to provide coverage for the purchase of epinephrine auto-injector devices for any covered person 18 years of age or younger when medically necessary and as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The bill applies to various types of health insurance plans, including hospital service corporation contracts, medical service corporation contracts, health service corporation contracts, individual and group health insurance policies, individual and small employer health benefits plans, and health maintenance organization contracts. The bill also requires the State Health Benefits Commission and the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission to ensure that their contracted health plans provide this coverage. The key provision is the requirement for insurers to cover the costs of epinephrine auto-injectors for minors when medically necessary, without imposing prior authorization or other utilization management requirements.
