Bill overview
This bill requires health insurance plans in New Jersey to cover billing for behavioral health services provided by mental health professionals who are still in the process of getting their licenses (provisionally licensed). It ensures that these professionals can be reimbursed for their services, even if they are not fully licensed yet, and prevents insurance companies from denying claims solely based on a provider’s provisional status. This aims to expand access to mental health care by supporting professionals who are working towards full licensure.
