Requires health insurers to cover self-measured blood pressure monitoring for subscribers with preeclampsia; requires health care professionals to provide home blood pressure monitor to pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia.
This bill requires health insurers in New Jersey to cover self-measured blood pressure monitoring for pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia, including provision of a validated home blood pressure monitor and reimbursement for provider education time. It also mandates that hospitals, birthing centers, and healthcare providers give pregnant patients without cost a validated home blood pressure monitor if they're diagnosed with preeclampsia or express blood pressure-related anxiety. The bill establishes a reimbursement process for providers who supply monitors to patients without existing insurance coverage, appropriating $1 million for this purpose. Providers must educate patients on monitor use, transmit and interpret blood pressure data, and report health outcomes to the Department of Health. The goal is to improve maternal outcomes by enabling early detection of blood pressure issues that could lead to serious complications in pregnancy.
