Requires DOBI to review hormone replacement therapy coverage.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Banking and Insurance to conduct a confidential review of how health insurance companies administer hormone replacement therapy coverage under the existing Menopause Coverage Act. The review will examine data on prior authorization and step therapy decisions, as well as whether there has been an overall increase in coverage since the previous law took effect. The department will compile its findings and submit them to the Legislature within six months of the bill becoming effective, after which the review requirement expires.
