A 5713 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires automatic issuance of credential to provide services in carrier provider network for physicians in good standing in New Jersey.

This bill requires health insurance companies (carriers) in New Jersey to automatically approve physician credentials for their provider networks if the physician holds a valid, unrevoked license from the State Board of Medical Examiners. It applies to physicians seeking initial network participation or credential renewal, streamlining the process by mandating acceptance of a standardized application form. Carriers must approve applications where the physician’s license status is verified as "in good standing" without additional review. The law takes effect immediately for all applications received after enactment.
