Bill Introduced to Make NJ FamilyCare Provider Enrollment Process Easier

Assembly Bill No. 2804, passed in the New Jersey General Assembly on September 26, 2024, would require the State Board of Medical Examiners (BME) and the Department of Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DHS) to implement standards to improve efficiency for reviewing NJ FamilyCare provider applications. The BME would be required to: (i) notify DHS within five days after it issues a license number to an applicant; and (ii) notify DHS within five days if it denies an applicant’s licensure.

DHS would be required to: (i) process each NJ FamilyCare provider application immediately upon receipt of the application, provided the application contains the necessary licensure information; and (ii) notify an applicant within 15 days of receiving the applicant’s license number from the BME if any additional information or documentation is required to enroll the applicant as a NJ FamilyCare provider.
