Signed into law · New Jersey Senate · Lead sponsor

Prohibits carrier from precluding dentist from billing covered person under certain circumstances.

Maddy summaryThis New Jersey bill (S 765) ensures patients can be billed directly by dentists when insurance won't pay for covered services, under specific conditions. Dentists must first provide written notice about payment responsibility, explain alternative options, get written patient consent, and accept the insurance-set payment amount. If a dentist charges more than the insurance-covered amount, they must refund the difference to the patient. The bill also prohibits insurance companies from using "down-coding" (reducing payment codes) or improper bundling of services to prevent dentists from collecting full fees, protecting both patients and providers from unexpected costs.

Requires Commissioner of Human Services to request authorization for SNAP benefits to be used to pay delivery charges for online grocery purchases.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A-2040) requires New Jersey's Human Services Commissioner to request that the federal USDA allow SNAP (food stamp) benefits to cover delivery fees for online grocery orders. It directly affects low-income households in New Jersey who receive SNAP benefits and shop online through authorized retailers like Amazon, Walmart, ShopRite, and The Fresh Grocers. The key provision changes how SNAP funds can be used - permitting them to pay delivery charges for SNAP-eligible groceries, which was previously prohibited under federal rules. The bill was enacted into law (P.L.2023, c.236) after passing both legislative chambers unanimously.
