Establishes pilot program to provide Medicaid coverage of remote maternal health services for eligible beneficiaries.
S 3334 establishes a voluntary, three-year pilot program in New Jersey to cover Medicaid expenses for remote maternal health services, including at-home monitoring of vital signs (like blood pressure), remote fetal monitoring, and tele-ultrasound consultations. It applies to pregnant Medicaid beneficiaries who are at high risk due to medical conditions (such as diabetes or high blood pressure), age (under 19 or over 35), lifestyle factors, or pregnancy complications, as well as those in areas with few obstetric providers or facing socioeconomic barriers like transportation issues. Participation requires a health care provider's referral and is voluntary; all services must use FDA-approved, HIPAA-compliant technology to securely transmit health data. Implementation depends on federal approval of a Medicaid waiver to secure funding for the state's costs.
