New Jersey A1937 requires health insurance companies to cover lead screenings for children 16 years of age or younger.
New Jersey A1937 mandates that health insurance companies cover lead screenings for children up to 16 years old. Currently, insurance only covers screenings for children under six. The bill also requires physicians, registered professional nurses, and health care facilities to screen children up to 16 years old unless they already have been screened. The Department of Health must specify lead screening parameters and responsive actions for elevated blood lead levels, consistent with federal guidance.
