Prohibits payment of more than one copayment, coinsurance or deductible for series of vaccinations used in preventive treatment of rabies under certain health benefits plans.
This bill prohibits health insurance plans from charging more than one copayment, coinsurance, or deductible for the full series of rabies vaccinations administered over multiple visits within an 180-day period. It directly affects patients receiving rabies preventive treatment (typically requiring multiple emergency room visits) and requires health insurers and providers to limit billing to a single payment for the entire vaccination series during that timeframe. The key provision ensures patients pay only once for the complete treatment, removing financial barriers to completing the necessary vaccine series. This applies to all health benefits plans covered under New Jersey's Health Care Quality Act, including state employee and school employee health programs.
