A 2201 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes health care professionals to engage in the use of remote patient monitoring devices; requires health care insurance coverage by certain insurers for remote patient monitoring devices.

This New Jersey bill (A-2201) requires health insurance companies to cover remote patient monitoring devices - like those tracking vital signs - from patients' homes on the same terms as in-person medical visits. It mandates that insurers pay the same reimbursement rate for remote monitoring as they would for in-person care and cannot charge higher deductibles, copays, or coinsurance for these services. The law also prohibits insurers from restricting how providers use technology (e.g., audio-only calls) or limiting coverage for routine remote check-ins, as long as care standards match in-person services. This directly affects health insurers, patients using remote monitoring, and healthcare providers delivering these services in New Jersey.
