COVID-19

Updates Related to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)



Governor Murphy announced administrative actions this week to waive consumer 
cost sharing for COVID-19 testing and testing-related services and enable NJ 
Medicaid beneficiaries to receive 90-day prescription refills for 
maintenance medications, in addition to a number of other steps. Please see 
the Governor’s press release for complete details, and the NJ Department of 
Human Services (DHS) Coronavirus webpage for details specific to people 
served by DHS and its divisions and offices.









In addition, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) issued 
guidance to help Medicare Advantage and Part D plans respond to COVID-19.



For up-to-date information and recommendations regarding COVID-19 in New 
Jersey and nationally, please visit these public health websites:



U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coronavirus webpage



NJ Department of Health coronavirus webpage



World Health Organization (WHO) coronavirus webpage





Also for your reference, please see the attached Disaster Preparedness 
Checklist for people with disabilities, as you may find this helpful for 
yourself, a friend or family member or individuals your organization serves.



Finally, I want to remind you to dial 2-1-1 for 24/7 access to live 
assistants who can help you identify local and statewide health and human 
service resources available in New Jersey.
