Concerns health care services provided to incarcerated individuals.
This New Jersey bill ensures that incarcerated individuals do not have to pay for medical care, dental services, or prescription drugs provided while in state or county facilities. The legislation removes the ability to charge inmates for these essential health services and allows the state and counties to seek reimbursement directly from the inmates' health insurance plans instead. By shifting the financial responsibility to insurance providers, the bill aims to guarantee access to necessary treatment without burdening prisoners with costs during their incarceration.
