Restricts certain billing practices for early intervention program services.
This bill prohibits health care providers from billing patients for early intervention services more than one year after the service was provided or attempting to collect on such overdue bills. It directly affects providers serving infants and toddlers (birth to age 2) with developmental delays through New Jersey's early intervention program, preventing unexpected long-delayed charges. Providers may still seek insurance reimbursement, but cannot bill patients for denied or partially paid claims if the insurance claim was submitted more than one year after the service or if over 18 months elapsed since the service. The law aims to reduce financial burdens on families already managing care for children with special needs.
