Requires health insurers to cover self-measured blood pressure monitoring for subscribers with preeclampsia; requires health care professionals to provide home blood pressure monitor to pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia.

This New Jersey bill requires health insurers to cover home blood pressure monitoring for subscribers diagnosed with preeclampsia, including provision of a validated monitor and reimbursement for provider education time. It mandates that hospitals, birthing centers, and health care providers give pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia, or those expressing blood pressure anxiety, a free validated home blood pressure monitor and educational materials about preeclampsia. The legislation specifies that monitors must be validated for accuracy, requires providers to educate patients on use, transmit and interpret blood pressure data, and establish a reimbursement process for providers. The Department of Health must report on health outcomes related to this program, including improvements in blood pressure management and reductions in hospitalizations.
