Requires Mandated Health Benefits Advisory Commission to study financial impact of all enacted mandated health benefits.
This bill requires New Jersey's Mandated Health Benefits Advisory Commission to regularly analyze the financial impact of all state-mandated health benefits. The Commission must examine how these benefits affect costs for purchasers (like insurers and employers), whether they increase appropriate use of treatments, and if they save money through better preventive care access. Every two years after the bill takes effect (and every three years thereafter), the Commission must report findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature, including whether any mandated benefits should be repealed and offered as optional coverage add-ons. The bill does not change existing health mandates but mandates ongoing cost and impact reviews to inform future legislative decisions.
