Establishes additional health insurance carrier network adequacy standards with respect to certain physician specialists.

This bill requires New Jersey health insurance carriers to meet new standards ensuring policyholders have reasonable and timely access to specific physician specialists at in-network hospitals. It mandates regulations covering access to anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, and their supervised services. The rules, to be developed by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, will address network adequacy regarding specialist availability, geographic coverage, and in-network access. These requirements apply directly to health insurance companies offering managed care plans in New Jersey.
