Establishes registration and operational requirements for retail health clinics and urgent care facilities.
This bill establishes new registration and operational rules for retail health clinics and urgent care facilities in New Jersey that are not already licensed as ambulatory care centers. It requires these facilities to register annually with the Department of Health, providing details such as their location, hours, and the names of their medical and operational supervisors. The legislation also mandates that clinics forward patient records to primary care providers within five days and make copies available to patients within 24 hours, while prohibiting fees that exceed the actual cost of providing these records. Additionally, the bill defines specific roles like medical supervisors and operational supervisors, limits the number of facilities a supervisor can manage, and requires clinics to encourage patients to follow up with their primary care providers.
