Bill Summary
This bill expressly allows health care providers located outside New Jersey to provide health care services to New Jersey residents using telemedicine and telehealth. The health care provider will still need to be licensed or certified as a health care professional in New Jersey as a condition of providing health care services using telemedicine and telehealth, as is required under current law.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to explicitly permit healthcare providers located outside of the state to offer healthcare services to New Jersey residents through telemedicine and telehealth, which are methods of delivering healthcare remotely using technology. Importantly, any out-of-state provider must still be licensed or certified to practice in New Jersey to provide these services, and they will remain subject to New Jersey's regulatory oversight and jurisdiction, ensuring that patients receive care that meets the same standards as if they were seen in person, regardless of the provider's location.
