Requires NJ FamilyCare payment for multiple medical encounters per day for enrollee at federally qualified health center.

This bill requires NJ FamilyCare to reimburse for multiple medical visits to different specialty providers at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) on the same day for enrollees. It mandates that referring providers document the medical necessity for each visit and ensures each encounter is with a distinct specialty provider. The bill explicitly states it does not override federal Medicaid rules, aligning with existing state regulations that currently limit FQHC visits to one per day unless multiple conditions or separate return visits occur. This change directly affects NJ FamilyCare enrollees seeking specialized care at FQHCs in underserved areas.
