S 3320 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Medicaid cover emergency contraception without requiring prescription or other authorization.

This bill requires New Jersey's Medicaid program to cover emergency contraceptives without needing a prescription or additional authorization. Currently, Medicaid only covers these medications when obtained with a prescription, forcing enrollees to pay out-of-pocket for over-the-counter options. The law mandates that all Medicaid managed care organizations include this coverage as a standard benefit. It directly affects Medicaid enrollees in New Jersey seeking accessible emergency contraception without unnecessary provider visits.
