Mandates health insurance coverage for supervisory billing for behavioral health services.
This bill requires health insurance carriers in New Jersey to cover and reimburse for services provided by mental health professionals who hold provisional licenses and work under the supervision of a fully licensed professional. It specifically prohibits insurance companies from denying claims solely because the provider is provisionally licensed, ensuring that individuals can access care from these supervised professionals. The law applies to major insurance programs including the State Health Benefits Program, School Employees' Health Benefits Program, and State Medicaid program.
