Bill 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.
