Requires DHS to implement payment strategy to encourage the use of long acting reversible contraceptives.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to create a Medicaid payment strategy that improves access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), like IUDs and implants, for Medicaid clients. Key provisions include ensuring timely coverage for LARC provision, separate payment for insertion right after childbirth, removing supply and administrative barriers, and mandating that private managed care organizations serving Medicaid clients adopt these same strategies. The policy directly affects Medicaid-eligible women seeking contraceptive care by reducing cost and access hurdles. It aims to align state Medicaid practices with federal recommendations to increase LARC use, which has high effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.
