Requires DHS and State Board of Medical Examiners to develop and implement process to improve efficiency of reviewing NJ FamilyCare provider applications.*

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) and the State Board of Medical Examiners to create a streamlined process for reviewing applications from healthcare providers seeking to enroll in NJ FamilyCare. It mandates that the State Board share license details with DHS within five days of issuing or denying a license, and allows DHS to begin processing provider applications immediately upon receiving required licensure information. DHS must then notify applicants within 15 days if additional documentation is needed. The bill directly affects healthcare providers applying for NJ FamilyCare enrollment by reducing administrative delays in the application process.
