This bill mandates that various health insurance plans in New Jersey, including hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health service corporations, individual and group health insurance policies, health maintenance organizations, and health benefits plans, must provide coverage for pelvic floor physical therapy during the postpartum period, which is defined as one year following childbirth. The bill specifies that these benefits should be offered to the same extent as coverage for any other medical condition under the respective contracts or policies.

The legislation applies to contracts and policies that are delivered, issued, executed, or renewed in the state on or after the effective date of the bill. It also includes provisions for the State Health Benefits Commission and the School Employees Health Benefits Commission to ensure that their contracts include this coverage. The bill is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its enactment, ensuring that postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy becomes a standard benefit for new mothers under applicable health insurance plans.
