Bill overview
This bill would allow physicians in New Jersey to make referrals to certain surgical centers, while maintaining existing restrictions on referrals to healthcare services where the physician, their family, or a combination of both has a significant beneficial interest. The bill creates exceptions for referrals to surgical practices licensed by the Department of Health, specifically regarding ambulatory surgery, lithotripsy, intraoperative monitoring, and referrals related to alternative payment models. It also clarifies the definition of a ‘surgical practice’ and ensures disclosure of beneficial interests to patients.
