Includes self-insured entities and plans under certain provisions of "New Jersey Insurance Fraud Prevention Act."

This bill adds self-insured entities and self-insured health plans to New Jersey's Insurance Fraud Prevention Act. It specifically includes these entities under the definition of "insurance" for fraud provisions, meaning false statements in claims related to self-funded health plans (like those offered by large employers) will now be covered under the same fraud laws as traditional insurance. This directly affects self-insured employers, their health plans, and healthcare providers who submit claims under these plans, as they will now face the same fraud penalties for false or misleading statements. The key change updates Section 4 of the law to explicitly include violations involving self-insured plans in the definition of insurance fraud.
