S 2795 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain medical billing requirements concerning specific nature of charges or expenses for health care services.

S 2795 requires New Jersey health care providers to give patients (or their survivors/legal guardians) a detailed, plain-language bill within 30 days of discharge or 7 days after a written request. The bill must list each service by date, include unit prices, avoid vague terms like "miscellaneous charges," and specify drug names (brand or generic) instead of codes. Providers must also clarify if charges are covered by insurance or due from the patient and include a contact for billing disputes. Health care facilities must respond to billing questions within seven business days, with implementation rules to be developed by state agencies.
