NJ State Bill S-2137 Electronic bills for Automobile Insurance Claims takes effective September 1, 2019
In New Jersey, for example,
new legislation requiring this change was enacted: NJ State Bill S-2137 requires electronic submission of automobile insurance claims between healthcare providers and insurance companies or their third-party administrators (TPAs).
Under this newly enacted legislation, it’s mandatory that all automobile insurance carriers, TPAs and medical management companies that receive auto-related medical bills from healthcare providers accept and process the bills electronically. Moreover, it requires all healthcare providers and hospitals that submit over 25 auto-related medical bills per month to now provide electronic bills for payment on standardized forms compliant with guidelines.
Additionally, the N.J. Workers’ Compensation EDI Law (Senate P.L. 2016 C64) requiring employers, workers’ comp insurance carriers of employers or workers’ comp TPAs to accept electronic medical bills submitted for the payment of medical services was approved on May 21, 2018, and allows for an 18-month adoption period.
