A 4807 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Children's Partial Hospitalization Pilot Program in DHS.

This bill establishes a pilot program to expand access to intensive outpatient mental health services for children aged 5 to 14 by allowing reimbursement under New Jersey's Medicaid program (NJ FamilyCare) for services provided at non-hospital locations. The state will select one provider meeting specific criteria, including exclusively serving children in this age group within qualifying rural areas (county population under 100,000 and municipality over 5,500 residents). The program requires a 36-month evaluation report to the Governor and Legislature, with the pilot expiring 12 months after that report is submitted.
