Bill Summary
This bill requires approval of an application submitted for credentialing so a physician can participate in a carrier's provider network if the application demonstrates that the license of the physician issued by the State Board of Medical Examiners in New Jersey is in good standing. This also includes applications for the renewal of a credential. This is intended to streamline the credentialing process for physicians licensed in the State.
AI Summary
This bill requires that if a physician's license, issued by the State Board of Medical Examiners in New Jersey, is in good standing, their application to join a health insurance carrier's network of doctors, or to renew their participation, must be automatically approved. This aims to simplify and speed up the process for physicians to be credentialed, meaning they are verified as qualified to provide services within a carrier's network, which is a group of healthcare providers that an insurance plan contracts with. The bill also clarifies that carriers can still request additional, non-duplicated information if needed, but the core credentialing based on a good standing license will be automatic.
