S 1820 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows remote patient monitoring of pregnant patients; requires reimbursement for remote patient monitoring rendered to certain Medicaid beneficiaries.

This bill requires New Jersey Medicaid to reimburse healthcare providers for remote patient monitoring services used with pregnant Medicaid beneficiaries who cannot receive in-person care. It defines remote monitoring as securely collecting health data (like blood pressure, glucose levels, or weight) through digital tools and transmitting it to providers. The law directly affects pregnant Medicaid patients and their healthcare providers by mandating coverage for these services when medically necessary. This creates a concrete policy change by expanding Medicaid reimbursement to include this technology-based care for a specific vulnerable group.
