This bill requires the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in the Department of Human Services and the State Board of Medical Examiners to develop and implement a process to improve the efficiency of reviewing NJ FamilyCare provider applications. The key provisions include: 1. The State Board of Medical Examiners must provide the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services with the applicant's license number within 5 days of issuing the license, or the appropriate documentation if the applicant is not approved for licensure. 2. The Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services must begin processing each NJ FamilyCare provider application upon receipt, provided that the application contains the necessary licensure information or demonstrates that the applicant is pending licensure approval. 3. The Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services must notify the applicant in writing within 10 days of receiving the license number from the State Board of Medical Examiners if any additional information or documentation is required to enroll the applicant as an approved NJ FamilyCare provider. The bill aims to streamline the application process for healthcare professionals seeking to enroll as NJ FamilyCare providers by improving the coordination between the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services and the State Board of Medical Examiners.
