11/27/2024

The New Jersey Department of Human Services is proposing a new regulation, which would set forth the requirements for a provider to use electronic medical records and electronic signatures to both maintain and submit documentation to Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare. The proposed rule would be consistent with existing Federal requirements, and does not mandate the use of electronic records or signatures. This new regulation would outline the requirements for a provider if he/she should elect to use electronic records and electronic signatures for submissions to Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare. Such requirements would include requiring a provider to develop organizational policies to use electronic records and signatures, ensuring compliance with HIPAA, and ensuring compliance with all existing Federal and State laws regarding recordkeeping.
