Introduced·3/23/26

New Jersey A4799 requires NJ FamilyCare to cover food prescriptions for enrollees with diet-related conditions.

New Jersey A4799 mandates the NJ FamilyCare program to establish a three-year pilot program covering food prescriptions for healthy foods when written by a licensed health care provider for NJ FamilyCare enrollees diagnosed with diet-related medical conditions. The pilot program aims to reduce overall Medicaid expenditures through improved management of diet-related conditions. The bill appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Human Services to implement the provisions.
