This bill mandates that health insurers in New Jersey, including hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, health service corporations, health maintenance organizations, and those involved in the State Health Benefits Program and School Employees Health Benefits Program, provide coverage for testing for suspected dyslexia. The coverage must include screening, diagnosis, and treatment of dyslexia-related medical conditions, ensuring that these services are not excluded from the benefits provided under the insurance contracts. Specifically, the bill stipulates that comprehensive neuropsychological examinations must be included to diagnose dyslexia and assess the psychological, emotional, and educational needs of the individual being tested.

The bill also emphasizes that the benefits for dyslexia testing must be provided to the same extent as for any other medical condition covered by the insurance policy. This requirement applies to various types of health insurance contracts, including individual and group policies, and those that allow insurers to change premiums. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the sixth month following its enactment, applying to all relevant contracts, policies, and plans issued or renewed after that date.
