A 5080 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes special enrollment period for covered persons whose in-network health care provider leaves network of health benefits plan.

This bill (A5080) creates a minimum 30-day special enrollment period for New Jersey health insurance policyholders when their in-network healthcare provider leaves their plan's network during the policy term. It requires the Department of Banking and Insurance to set this period and mandates insurers to notify affected individuals about the enrollment opportunity. The policy change directly impacts covered persons who suddenly lose access to their preferred providers due to network changes. The bill applies to all health insurance policies delivered, issued, or renewed after its effective date (90 days post-enactment).
