Bill Summary

Establishes "Hospital at Home Act."

AI Summary

This bill establishes the "Hospital at Home Act" in New Jersey. It directs the Department of Health to create a state program that allows hospitals to provide acute care services to individuals outside of the hospital's licensed facility and within a private residence. The bill aligns the state program with the federal Acute Hospital Care at Home Program and requires that NJ FamilyCare, Medicaid, and private health insurance carriers provide coverage for these hospital-at-home services on the same basis as services provided within a hospital. The bill also outlines credentialing requirements for healthcare providers delivering these services and allows the state to seek necessary federal approvals to implement the program and secure federal funding.
