§ 52:14-17.
a. The School Employees' Health Benefits Commission shall prepare, in coordination
with the Division of Pensions and Benefits in the Department of the Treasury, a guidance
tool to provide employees and retirees who are not Medicare-eligible with confidential
consultations online with regard to the employee's or retiree's decision to select
a plan during a period of open enrollment or at other times. The guidance tool shall operate using information supplied by the employee or retiree
as answers to questions concerning the health care needs of the employee or retiree,
and the employee's or retiree's dependents if any. b. A comprehensive health and wellness plan intended to provide biometric screening
services, chronic condition coaching services, and smoking cessation services shall
be available to all members of the School Employees' Health Benefits Program, including
all members of the New Jersey Educators Health Plan and the Garden State Health Plan. The School Employees' Health Benefits Commission shall provide, through a contract,
for the services of wellness related providers for employees and retirees, and their
dependents if any, enrolled in the program. The contract awarded by the commission shall be offered to employers, as defined
in section 32 of P.L.2007, c. 103 ( C.52:14-17.46.2 ), who do not participate in the program so that their employees may have access to
the same services and under same terms, conditions, and costs as the employees of
employers who do participate. The School Employees' Health Benefits Program shall promote, on an on-going basis,
the expansion of the use of patient centered medical homes. The School Employees' Health Benefits Plan Design Committee shall seek also to adopt,
on an on-going basis, efforts and measures to support expanded population health arrangements
that manage costs and prevent inappropriate utilization. c. All provisions of law regarding the School Employees' Health Benefits Program shall
remain applicable to the extent not inconsistent with, and shall not be interpreted
in a manner that creates a direct impediment to the implementation of, this section
and sections 1, 2, and 4 of this act, P.L.2020, c. 44 ( C.52:14-17.46.13 , 52:14-17.46.14 , and C.52:14-17.46.16 ).
