Prohibits health insurance carriers from placing time limit on coverage of anesthesia services before, during, or after medical or surgical procedures.
S 1607 (New Jersey) prohibits health insurance carriers (including companies, HMOs, and health service corporations) from restricting coverage based on the duration of anesthesia services before, during, or after medical or surgical procedures. The bill defines "anesthesia services" using standard medical coding (AMA’s Current Procedural Terminology codes) and requires insurers to cover these services without time-based limits. It applies to policies delivered, issued, or renewed 90 days after enactment. This directly affects insurers operating in New Jersey and ensures continuous coverage for anesthesia during all phases of care.
