Bill > S1692

This bill, known as "Breann's Law," requires health insurers, the State Health Benefits Plan (SHBP), and NJ FamilyCare to provide out-of-network coverage for health care services provided to children who are diagnosed with a catastrophic illness, as long as those services were referred by an in-network provider. Catastrophic illness is defined as an acute or prolonged illness that is usually considered life-threatening or has the potential for serious long-term disability. The bill ensures that the out-of-network benefits are provided to the same extent as the in-network benefits for any other condition covered under the insurance plan, contract, or coverage.
