S 2244 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes a Women's Menstrual Health Screening Program and requirements to screen appropriate patients for endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.

This bill establishes a Women’s Menstrual Health Program within New Jersey’s Department of Health to identify and assist individuals experiencing menstrual symptoms potentially linked to endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The program requires healthcare providers to screen patients using evidence-based guidelines, provide referrals for treatment, and offer education to both medical staff and the public. It mandates the creation of online resources with clinical guidelines for providers and public materials about these conditions. Patient data collected will be kept confidential and used solely for improving care, without disclosing individual identities. The program directly affects menstruating individuals who display symptoms of these disorders, aiming to improve early detection and management.
