S 1111 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes registration and operational requirements for retail health clinics and urgent care facilities.

S 1111 requires retail health clinics (like those in pharmacies) and urgent care facilities in New Jersey to register annually with the Department of Health, providing details about staff, services, and operating hours. It mandates that these facilities must share patient records with primary care providers within 5 days upon request, make records available to patients within 24 hours, and not charge fees for copies. The bill also prohibits these facilities from treating patients under 18 or enrolled in Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare (except in emergencies) and requires them to inform patients of their rights, including access to care records and follow-up with a primary provider. These requirements directly affect all retail clinics and urgent care centers operating in New Jersey that aren’t already licensed as ambulatory care facilities.
