Bill > S1260

Introduced Session

This bill requires health insurers (health, hospital and medical service corporations, commercial individual and group health insurers, health maintenance organizations, health benefits plans issued pursuant to the New Jersey Individual Health Coverage and Small Employer Health Benefits Programs, the State Health Benefits Program, and the School Employees' Health Benefits Program) to provide coverage for expenses incurred in the treatment of a tick-borne disease. Treatment otherwise eligible for benefits pursuant to this bill may not be denied solely because such treatment may be characterized as experimental or investigational in nature or because the treatment requires the use of a prescription drug in an off-label manner.
