S 1093 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes provision of adult day health services on remote basis.

This bill allows licensed adult day health facilities in New Jersey to provide their full range of services remotely to enrolled individuals who cannot or will not attend in person. It requires facilities to offer all in-person services remotely if safe and effective, including telehealth wellness checks (screening for food insecurity, medication needs, health status), access to health professionals (nursing, therapy, social work), meal delivery, activity materials, and medical appointment coordination. Remote services must be billed at the same rate as in-person services with proper documentation, and facilities cannot exceed their authorized capacity. The bill formalizes remote service authorization that was temporarily allowed during the pandemic to address barriers like health concerns, transportation issues, or social distancing needs.
