Summary

The measure requires all types of New Jersey health insurance—hospital service contracts, medical service contracts, health service contracts, individual and group policies, and small‑employer plans—to pay for the diagnosis and treatment of Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) and Pediatric Acute‑onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). Coverage must be on the same terms as any other condition and include antibiotics, behavioral therapy, immunomodulating drugs, plasma exchange, and IVIG. It aims to close gaps that leave families paying out‑of‑pocket for these costly, often lifelong conditions.
