A 1831 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Medicaid Fraud Division to enter into data sharing agreement upon request of county to provide access to third party insurance liability data regarding certain COVID-19 related health claims.

This bill (A1831) requires New Jersey's Medicaid Fraud Division to create data-sharing agreements with any county that requests access to third-party insurance data about COVID-19 health services. It directly affects counties (local governments) and individuals receiving publicly-funded COVID-19 care (like testing or treatment) who may have private insurance. The key provision mandates the division to share available data - such as insurance coverage details - to help counties determine if individuals have other insurance, then identify the insurer so counties can bill them for covered services. This aims to protect public funds by ensuring private insurers cover eligible services provided during the pandemic. The bill specifies "carrier" includes insurance companies, health plans, and state programs like the State Health Benefits Program.
