Establishes "Comprehensive Geriatric Fall Prevention Pilot Program" in DHS; appropriates $11.7 million.

This bill establishes a three-year "Comprehensive Geriatric Fall Prevention Pilot Program" within New Jersey's Department of Human Services, targeting at least 6,000 Medicaid recipients aged 60 or older (with a control group of 6,000) to reduce falls. It provides proven prevention services including individualized risk assessments, counseling, and rehabilitative care - tailored for high-risk seniors and Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles - with funding from an $11.7 million appropriation. The program requires a review of Medicaid reimbursement policies and a cost-effectiveness evaluation within three years, aiming to lower healthcare costs by preventing falls, building on successful models from states like Pennsylvania and Florida.
