Overview
The Fair Access to Health Care Networks Act aims to improve access to healthcare services in New Jersey by requiring insurance carriers to accept licensed, state-regulated healthcare facilities and providers into their networks. The bill mandates that carriers reimburse these providers at least 200% of Medicare rates and prohibits exclusions based on ownership or affiliation. It also allocates $2 million to the Department of Banking and Insurance for administration and enforcement, and establishes a process for appealing network decisions.
