NJ Medicaid: Where To Find At Least Some Stuff

Aspect of Need: Medical, Financial

Just for the record...

The place to find more information about NJ Medicaid is at a nondescript website for the NJ Medicaid Management Information System, located here. But, being a very technical website principally for the use of Medicaid providers, when viewing it the common man would hardly know what it is.

The provisions of NJ Medicaid are found deep within the dense New Jersey Administrative Code. The NJAC can be found through the NJMMIS website which directs you to the New Jersey Division of Medical and Human Services site, which directs you to its Medicaid Eligibility and Services Manuals site, which directs you in turn to a Lexis-Nexis site in which, after you agree to terms, you can look at the long, dense, complicated NJ Administrative Code. For example, want to see what NJ Medicaid says about medications? Look up the "Pharmaceuticals Manual" in the NJAC, under Title 10, Chapter 51.

The list of Medicaid providers in NJ is now online here.

Changes in policies and regulations within NJ Medicaid are catalogued in its newsletter. See all the back newsletters here.
