Bill Summary

This bill removes an exemption from the law regulating patient referrals. In general, N.J.S.A.45:9-22.5 provides that a practitioner shall not refer a patient for a medical procedure to a health care service in which the practitioner or the practitioner's immediate family has a significant beneficial interest. N.J.S.A.45:9-22.5 exempts certain medical procedures from the above prohibition. This bill amends N.J.S.A.45:9-22.5 to remove the following medical procedure from the statute's exemption list: "medically-necessary intraoperative monitoring services rendered during a neurosurgical, neurological, or neuro-radiological surgical procedure that is performed in a hospital."

AI Summary

This bill removes an exemption from the law regulating patient referrals. Specifically, the bill amends a New Jersey statute (N.J.S.A.45:9-22.5) to remove the exemption for "medically-necessary intraoperative monitoring services rendered during a neurosurgical, neurological, or neuro-radiological surgical procedure that is performed in a hospital." This means practitioners will no longer be able to refer patients to health care services in which the practitioner or their immediate family has a significant beneficial interest for these types of medical procedures.
