Provides for Medicaid coverage of certain home blood pressure monitors and cuffs for pregnant persons at risk for preeclampsia.

This bill would require New Jersey Medicaid to cover home blood pressure monitors and cuffs that have been validated for accuracy, along with provider time for patient education, for pregnant Medicaid recipients at risk of preeclampsia. It directly affects pregnant individuals enrolled in Medicaid who have been identified by their healthcare provider as having risk factors for preeclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and affects about 5-8% of pregnancies in New Jersey. The coverage would include only devices listed in the U.S. Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing. This policy change aims to improve early detection of preeclampsia, which disproportionately impacts Black and African American pregnant persons. The coverage would be provided without cost-sharing for Medicaid beneficiaries.
