Requires health insurers to cover self-measured blood pressure monitoring for subscribers with preeclampsia; requires health care professionals to provide home blood pressure monitor to pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia.
This New Jersey bill requires health insurers to cover home blood pressure monitoring for pregnant patients diagnosed with preeclampsia, a dangerous high blood pressure condition that can harm both mother and baby. The legislation mandates that healthcare professionals provide validated home blood pressure monitors to affected patients and reimburse providers for time spent training patients on device use and interpreting results. Insurance contracts issued or renewed in the state must include this coverage to the same extent as other medical conditions, ensuring consistent access to monitoring tools that can help detect blood pressure spikes between clinical appointments.
