Requires Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare to provide medically tailored nutrition services for certain enrollees.
This bill requires New Jersey's Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs to cover specific nutrition services for enrollees with certain diet-related health conditions. It mandates coverage for up to 10 ready-to-eat meals per week for conditions like heart failure, type 2 diabetes, COPD, or kidney disease; enough grocery items for 14 meals per week for type 2 diabetes or obesity; $25+ weekly food vouchers for pre-diabetes, overweight, or high blood pressure; and medical nutrition counseling for diabetes or kidney disease. All services must be prescribed by a healthcare provider and designed by a dietitian or nutritionist as part of a treatment plan, with the state seeking federal approval to implement these changes.
