Revises certain references to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in statutory and regulatory law; Requires health benefits coverage for certain immunizations recommended by DOH.
S 3020 requires New Jersey health insurance plans to cover all childhood immunizations recommended by the state Department of Health (DOH) without patients paying copays or deductibles. The DOH bases these recommendations on the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and the bill updates state law to align insurance coverage with these guidelines. Insurers must provide this coverage as part of preventive care and notify policyholders in writing of any changes to immunization coverage. This applies to all health insurance plans offering medical benefits in New Jersey, directly affecting insurers and policyholders.
