Bill > A1782

Introduced Session

This bill would expand the availability of the NJ FamilyCare Advantage program. The program provides an opportunity for individuals to purchase health care coverage through the Medicaid program. This coverage would be known as the NJ FamilyCare Advantage health care plan and would be available for purchase to all individuals in the State, who are not eligible for Medicaid or NJ FamilyCare. The bill requires that the NJ FamilyCare Advantage health care plan would need to meet the specifications of a plan which provides the essential health benefits as defined in the Affordable Care Act. The health care plan could then be purchased through the Federal Health Care Exchange. This would allow qualified individuals to access tax credits available when purchasing the NJ FamilyCare Advantage health care plan through the Exchange.
