Included self-insured entities and plans under certain provisions of "New Jersey Insurance Fraud Prevention Act."
This bill expands New Jersey's Insurance Fraud Prevention Act to include self-insured entities and plans, which are organizations that pay for their own insurance claims rather than using traditional insurance companies. It makes it illegal to present false or misleading information in connection with claims under self-insured plans, including concealing events that affect benefit entitlements. Self-insured entities that suffer losses due to fraud can now sue for compensatory damages, including investigation costs and attorney fees. The bill also clarifies that self-insured entities can access relevant documents related to fraud investigations under certain conditions.
