Requires DOH to expand services provided under plan to improve perinatal mental health services and health insurers to cover costs of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder screening.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to improve access to perinatal mental health services, including screening for mood and anxiety disorders. The plan must establish referral networks, increase peer support services, reduce stigma, and collect standardized data on screening and treatment. Health insurance companies in New Jersey must cover the costs of screening women for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders during preconception, pregnancy, prior to giving birth, and throughout the first year after childbirth. The bill also mandates continuing education for health care professionals in perinatal mental health as part of their licensing requirements. This affects all women planning pregnancy, pregnant women, and new parents within the first year after childbirth.
