A 2481 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits insurers, SHBP, and SEHBP from charging fee for paper bills and notices.

This bill prohibits insurers, the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP), and the School Employees' Health Benefits Program (SEHBP) from charging fees for paper bills or notices to policyholders or program members. It directly affects consumers who choose paper billing instead of digital options, ensuring they won’t face extra costs for that preference. Insurers may still offer discounts for digital billing, but charging for paper delivery is banned. Violations could result in penalties up to $1,000 per fee charged, enforced by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment.
