"Consumer Freedom From Unwanted Expense in Health Insurance Coverage Act."
S 685, the "Consumer Freedom From Unwanted Expense in Health Insurance Coverage Act," would allow New Jersey residents to purchase health insurance policies sold by insurers licensed in other U.S. states. It requires employers to reimburse employees for these out-of-state policies and states such coverage satisfies any legal requirement to maintain health insurance. The bill directly affects New Jersey residents seeking broader insurance options and employers offering health benefits. It expands access to out-of-state plans without changing premium costs or altering coverage requirements.
