Requires Medicaid coverage for remote stress tests for pregnant women.
This bill would require New Jersey Medicaid to cover FDA-approved at-home stress tests for pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies. These tests monitor fetal heart rate, fetal movement, and uterine activity and can be conducted in 20-40 minute sessions under clinical oversight. The bill aims to increase access to these tests, as many women with high-risk pregnancies currently do not undergo prescribed testing due to logistical challenges requiring frequent in-person visits. Coverage would be provided when federal funding is available, as specified in the amended Medicaid statute.
