Requires health insurance carriers to provide coverage for suicidal ideation and attempted suicide for postpartum women.

This bill requires all health insurance companies and state health programs in New Jersey to cover treatment for suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts for women during the one-year postpartum period (after childbirth). It specifically defines "suicidal ideation" as thoughts or plans about suicide and "attempted suicide" as harmful behavior meant to cause self-harm or death. The coverage applies immediately to all existing and new health plans in the state, including those for state and school employees. The bill addresses a critical health gap, as suicide is a leading cause of death among postpartum women, with studies showing up to 20% of postpartum deaths may involve suicide.
