Requires health benefits coverage for certain immunizations recommended by DOH.
This bill requires all health insurance plans in New Jersey to cover recommended childhood immunizations without requiring cost sharing (such as copays or deductibles). It changes the requirement from covering immunizations recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to covering immunizations recommended by the New Jersey Department of Health. The Department of Health must make these recommendations consistent with input from major medical associations including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics. The coverage applies to all types of health insurance plans, including hospital, medical, and health maintenance organization plans, and requires insurers to notify subscribers of any changes in coverage.
