S 1675 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Mandated Health Benefits Advisory Commission to study financial impact of all enacted mandated health benefits.

S 1675 requires New Jersey's Mandated Health Benefits Advisory Commission (established in 2003) to regularly analyze the financial impact of all existing mandated health benefits. The commission must study how each mandate affects costs for purchasers and benefits, whether it increased appropriate use of treatments, and if it generated savings through preventive care access. The bill mandates that the commission report findings to the Governor and Legislature two years after enactment and every three years thereafter, with possible interim reports on specific mandates. This affects health insurers, employers, and healthcare providers who bear costs of mandated benefits by requiring ongoing cost-benefit reviews. The bill does not create new mandates but directs the commission to evaluate existing ones.
