A 5749 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires health insurers to provide coverage for testing for suspected dyslexia.

This bill requires all health insurers in New Jersey - including hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health maintenance organizations, and individual/group health plans - to cover comprehensive testing for suspected dyslexia. It mandates that insurers provide coverage for screening, diagnosis, and related neuropsychological examinations as part of standard medical benefits, without exclusion. The policy applies to all covered contracts issued, renewed, or executed in New Jersey on or after the effective date, ensuring coverage is provided "to the same extent as for any other condition." It directly affects individuals seeking dyslexia evaluations, including children and adults, by removing financial barriers to diagnostic testing.
