Directs DHS to establish Children's Partial Hospitalization Pilot Program.
S 4707 directs New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a temporary pilot program expanding access to children's partial hospitalization services for youth aged 5-14. Currently, NJ FamilyCare (state Medicaid) only reimburses these services when provided in hospital settings, limiting availability. The bill allows reimbursement for such services delivered at non-hospital locations (e.g., community centers), provided providers meet specific requirements like exclusively serving this age group and securing approval through the Children’s System of Care. The program will last 36 months, with one provider selected for participation, and requires a final report on outcomes and recommendations for potential expansion.
