NJ S 3769: Requires NJ FamilyCare payment for multiple medical encounters per day for enrollee at federally qualified health center.
Summary
New Jersey Senate Bill 3769 has been referred to the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee. If enacted, it would require NJ FamilyCare (New Jersey's Medicaid program) to provide payment for multiple medical encounters in a single day when an enrollee receives services at a federally qualified health center.
What this may mean
If enacted, the bill would obligate NJ FamilyCare managed care plans and the state Medicaid agency to reimburse FQHCs for more than one billable encounter per enrollee per day, which currently may be limited by payment methodology. FQHCs operating in New Jersey would see a potential expansion of reimbursable visit volume under Medicaid. The bill remains in committee with no enacted effect at this stage.
