S 95 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes provision of adult day health services on remote basis.

This bill authorizes licensed adult day health facilities in New Jersey to provide all in-person services remotely to enrolled individuals who are unable or unwilling to receive care in person, such as those facing transportation issues, health concerns, or weather challenges. Key remote services include telehealth wellness checks (screening for food insecurity, medication adherence, and health symptoms), access to nurses, therapists, and social workers, delivery of meals and activity materials, and coordination of medical appointments. Facilities must bill remote services at the same rate as in-person care with proper documentation, and cannot exceed their licensed capacity. The bill also requires state agencies to seek federal Medicaid funding to cover these remote services.
