Requires practitioners to disclose business relationship with out-of-State facilities when making patient referrals to those facilities.

This New Jersey bill requires doctors and podiatrists to inform patients in writing before referring them to an out-of-state health care facility if they have a financial or business relationship with that facility. The disclosure must detail the nature of the relationship, list comparable in-state facilities (in the patient's county and neighboring counties), and explain potential higher costs if the facility is out-of-network or involves additional transportation. Patients must receive this written notice at the time of referral, and practitioners must also post a summary of the disclosure in their office and on their website. The goal is to provide transparency about referral decisions and financial implications without restricting patient choice.
