Requires health insurance coverage of at-home rehabilitation services.
This bill requires all health insurance plans in New Jersey to cover at-home rehabilitation services for individuals recovering from injuries or illnesses. It applies to hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health maintenance organizations, and all individual and group health insurance policies. The coverage must be provided at the same level as other medical treatments and must include services delivered within a patient's home using medical equipment. The bill defines "at-home rehabilitation" as treatment for functional physical or mental impairments due to injury or disease, administered within the individual's home. This change aims to make rehabilitation more accessible for people who face challenges traveling to facilities.
