Overview
This bill requires health insurance managed care plans in New Jersey to allow any licensed clinical laboratory to participate in their provider networks, provided the lab offers coverage for laboratory services and meets the plan’s contractual terms. Currently, some plans may restrict which labs can participate. This legislation aims to increase access to laboratory services for patients covered by these plans. The bill also directs the state’s insurance regulator to create rules to implement the changes.
