Requires DOH to expand services provided under plan to improve perinatal mental health services and health insurers to cover costs of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder screening.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create a plan improving access to perinatal mental health services, including screening, referrals, and treatment for mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and the first year postpartum. It mandates that health insurers cover these screenings at the same level as other medical conditions, using specific CPT codes for counseling and office visits. The law directly affects pregnant people, new parents, and healthcare providers in New Jersey by ensuring coverage for early mental health screening and support services. Key provisions include standardized data collection, provider training requirements, and a resource guide for patients. The bill applies to all health insurance contracts issued or renewed in New Jersey after its effective date.
