Bill > S950

This bill, known as "Breann's Law," requires health insurers, the State Health Benefits Program, and NJ FamilyCare to provide "out-of-network" coverage for children with catastrophic illnesses. Catastrophic illness is defined as an acute or prolonged illness usually considered to be life-threatening or with the threat of serious residual disability. The bill mandates that when a child with a catastrophic illness is referred by an in-network provider to an out-of-network provider, the insurer must cover the services to the same extent as they would be covered if performed by an in-network provider.
