Bill overview
This bill removes an exemption from New Jersey law that regulates patient referrals. Currently, practitioners are prohibited from referring patients to healthcare services where they or their immediate family have a significant beneficial interest. This legislation removes a specific exemption related to medically-necessary intraoperative monitoring services performed in hospitals, allowing continued referrals under certain conditions outlined in the bill. The changes aim to broaden the scope of permissible referrals while maintaining patient disclosure requirements.
