Bill Summary
An Act concerning acute hospital care and supplementing Title 26 of the Revised Statutes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the "Hospital at Home Act" in New Jersey. It allows hospitals to provide acute care services to individuals outside of the hospital's licensed facility and within a private residence, consistent with the federal Acute Hospital Care at Home Program. The bill requires the New Jersey FamilyCare and Medicaid programs, as well as health insurance carriers in the state, to provide coverage for these home-based acute care services on the same basis as services provided within a hospital. The bill also enables the Commissioners of Health and Human Services to adopt regulations and seek necessary federal approvals to implement the program.
