Bill > S2943

Introduced Session

This bill requires the Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) to establish an integrated platform for the State-based health insurance exchange and the NJ FamilyCare program. Under current law, the Commissioner of Human Services is required to submit a proposal for available federal funding to integrate the Medicaid eligibility platform with the State-based exchange, but is not required to complete the integration. Under the bill, DOBI, in consultation with the Department of Human Services, will be required to integrate the State-based exchange with the State Medicaid program's eligibility platform to create an integrated platform that allows for individuals to determine their eligibility for health benefits plans under the New Jersey Individual Health Coverage Program, the New Jersey Small Employer Health Benefits Program, and the NJ FamilyCare program, which includes the State Medicaid Program and the Children's Health Insurance Program. The Commissioner of Human Services, in consultation with the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, will be required to submit a proposal for such State plan amendments or waivers as may be necessary to implement the provisions of this bill.
