Requires Medicaid cover emergency contraception without requiring prescription or other authorization.

This bill requires New Jersey's Medicaid program to cover emergency contraception (like Plan B) without needing a prescription or provider authorization. It directly affects Medicaid enrollees who need emergency contraception, removing the current barrier that forces them to pay out-of-pocket for over-the-counter options or obtain a prescription for coverage. The key provision mandates that Medicaid managed care organizations include this coverage as a standard benefit, eliminating the need for separate authorization. This changes current practice where Medicaid only covers prescription-based emergency contraceptives, improving access for enrollees.
