Requires DOBI to establish integrated enrollment platform for State-based health insurance exchange and NJ FamilyCare program.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) to create a single online platform that integrates the state's health insurance marketplace (for individuals and small businesses) with the NJ FamilyCare program (which includes Medicaid and children's health coverage). The platform will allow residents to check eligibility for all these programs in one system, replacing separate processes. DOBI must coordinate with the Department of Human Services and establish an advisory committee of health insurance experts to guide implementation. The bill also mandates submitting federal proposals to secure funding for the integrated system.
