New Jersey A3440 mandates health benefits coverage for private duty nursing services.

New Jersey A3440 requires health insurers to cover expenses for private duty nursing services, which are for recipients needing more individual and continuous care than visiting nurses or hospital staff can provide. These services, provided by registered or licensed practical nurses under a physician's direction, can occur in a recipient's home, a hospital, or a skilled nursing facility. The bill applies to various health insurance contracts and plans, including those from health, hospital, and medical service corporations, and the State Health Benefits Program.
