A 3120 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Medicaid provide health benefits coverage, and places certain requirements on insurers and State Health Benefits Program regarding existing mandate on health benefits coverage, for certain over-the-counter contraceptives.

This bill requires New Jersey Medicaid to cover over-the-counter contraceptives and imposes certain requirements on insurers and the State Health Benefits Program regarding existing mandates on health benefits coverage for these products. The legislation directly affects Medicaid recipients, private health insurance plans, and state health programs by ensuring access to contraception without additional cost-sharing. Key provisions include expanding the list of authorized medical services under the Medicaid program and clarifying how contraceptive coverage must be provided within the state's health benefits framework. The bill amends existing statutory law to incorporate these coverage requirements while maintaining compliance with federal Social Security Act regulations.
