Requires health insurance and Medicaid coverage for treatment of stuttering.*

Summary

The legislation mandates that all New Jersey hospital, medical and health service contracts, as well as individual and group health insurance policies, pay for medically‑necessary speech therapy for stuttering, including both habilitative and rehabilitative services, whether delivered in person or via telehealth. It removes deductibles, copays, coinsurance, annual limits and prior‑authorization requirements for these services. The aim is to eliminate financial barriers for people who stutter.
