A 3419 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires retail health clinics to develop policies and procedures identifying services provided by the clinics.

This bill requires retail health clinics in New Jersey - located within pharmacies, supermarkets, or similar retail stores - to develop and submit detailed policies to the State Board of Medical Examiners for approval. The policies must cover clinic accreditation, clinical guidelines for treating patients, referral procedures for when care exceeds the clinic’s scope, and requirements for providing medical records to patients and their primary care physicians at no cost. Clinics must also post clear service information for patients, including when to seek primary care, and undergo annual compliance reviews by the Board. The legislation aims to establish consistent safety and continuity standards for these currently unregulated clinics, which provide walk-in care for acute conditions.
