"Consumer Freedom From Unwanted Expense in Health Insurance Coverage Act."

This bill (A 503) allows New Jersey residents to purchase health insurance policies sold by insurers licensed in other states ("foreign health insurers"). It directly affects New Jersey residents (defined as those living in the state for at least six months annually) and their employers, who may reimburse employees for these out-of-state policies. Key provisions require that such purchases satisfy any legal requirement for health insurance coverage, and employers may cover the costs of these policies. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment, expanding insurance purchasing options beyond New Jersey’s regulated market.
