NJ A 3592: Requires NJ FamilyCare payment for multiple medical encounters per day for enrollee at federally qualified health center.
Summary
New Jersey Assembly Bill 3592 would require the NJ FamilyCare Medicaid program to reimburse FQHCs for multiple medical encounters occurring on the same day for the same enrollee. The bill has been reported and referred to the Assembly Aging and Human Services Committee. If enacted, it would expand payment obligations for the state Medicaid program with respect to FQHC same-day encounter billing.
What this may mean
The bill, if enacted, directly expands NJ FamilyCare reimbursement obligations to cover multiple same-day encounters at FQHCs, reversing any current payment limitations on that billing practice. FQHCs in New Jersey would become eligible for additional per-encounter payments for enrollees seen more than once on the same day.
