Requires DHS to submit Medicaid State plan amendment to federal government requesting approval to create Health Home Program for certain Medicaid beneficiaries with sickle cell disease.

This New Jersey bill requires the state's Department of Human Services to apply for federal approval to create a special Health Home Program for Medicaid recipients with sickle cell disease who are at risk of developing another chronic condition. Once approved, the state must implement this program within 180 days to coordinate care for these patients, integrating services such as primary care, behavioral health, and long-term support. The legislation defines sickle cell disease as an inherited blood disorder and clarifies that a chronic condition is any persistent health issue lasting at least 12 months. By establishing this program, the bill aims to ensure that eligible individuals receive comprehensive, whole-person care rather than fragmented medical treatment.
