Bill > S4054

Introduced Session

This bill clarifies that testosterone therapy is a covered treatment under the "New Jersey Menopause Coverage Act." Under the bill, health insurance carriers (including insurance companies, hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health service corporations, and health maintenance organizations authorized to issue health benefits plans in New Jersey, entities contracted to administer health benefits in connection with the State Health Benefits Program and School Employees' Health Benefits Program, and the New Jersey FamilyCare Program) will be required to cover, as part of their coverage of medically necessary perimenopause and menopause treatments under the "New Jersey Menopause Coverage Act," testosterone therapy. The bill also requires that benefits for the prescribed testosterone therapy be provided to the same extent as for any other hormonal treatment under the bill, and stipulates that prescribed testosterone therapy will not be denied by a carrier if the therapy is not indicated by the federal Food and Drug Administration to be approved for perimenopause or menopause.
