A 1934 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Reduces statute of limitations from six years to two years in medical fee disputes in workers' compensation matters.

This bill reduces the statute of limitations for medical fee disputes in workers' compensation cases from six years to two years. It requires that disputes be filed with the Division of Workers' Compensation within two years of receiving a payment or notice of denial of payment. The current law, as interpreted by courts, allows up to six years for such disputes. This change directly affects injured workers and medical providers who must resolve billing disagreements within the shorter two-year window.
