June 1, 2018: Statement of Cathy Bennett, NJHA President and CEO, on Out-of-Network Consumer Protections Signed Into Law


“After eight long years, New Jersey law today protects healthcare consumers from surprise out-of-network bills. We thank Gov. Murphy for signing this measure into law. We know medical billing is complex and confusing, so our priority now is to get to work on the transparency provisions of the law and provide helpful information to healthcare consumers. We stand ready to work with the Murphy Administration in the regulatory process to ensure that we achieve the goal of giving consumers the information they need and ending out-of-network billing surprises for patients.”
