S 2218 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes requirements to screen certain people who are pregnant and who have given birth for endometriosis.

S 2218 requires hospitals, birthing centers, and healthcare providers in New Jersey to screen pregnant people or those who recently gave birth for endometriosis if they were diagnosed with preeclampsia and later show endometriosis symptoms. It mandates that providers give patients information about endometriosis and its symptoms through an educational program, explain screening benefits, and obtain written refusal if the patient declines. The bill specifies that screening must occur unless a patient provides a written refusal using a standardized form developed by the Commissioner of Health. If screening is positive, providers must discuss results and create a treatment plan to address endometriosis risks. This applies to individuals within six weeks postpartum who meet the preeclampsia and symptom criteria.
