New Jersey S3408 codifies Medicaid coverage for pregnant women for 365 days post-pregnancy.

New Jersey S3408 codifies Medicaid coverage for eligible pregnant women for a 365-day period beginning on the last day of a woman’s pregnancy. This bill aligns with federal changes, such as the option for states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage to 12 months, which took effect on April 1, 2022. The Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in the Department of Human Services has been mandated to provide this benefit since FY 2022.
