Overview
This bill requires health insurance plans and carriers in New Jersey to meet specific standards for network adequacy and mental health care access. It mandates that plans ensure 100% of covered individuals have access to in-network mental health providers within 15 miles or through telemedicine/telehealth within 30 days. Carriers offering out-of-network telemedicine/telehealth mental health services must reimburse at rates comparable to Medicaid. The bill also establishes procedures for reviewing network adequacy and allows for penalties for non-compliance.
