New Jersey A4706 mandates health insurance coverage for supervisory billing for behavioral health services.

New Jersey A4706 requires health insurance carriers, including those that own or contract with managed behavioral health care organizations, to allow reimbursement for services provided by provisionally licensed mental health professionals under supervision. The bill ensures that claims for reimbursement cannot be denied solely because the mental health professional is provisionally licensed or credentialed. The definition of "carrier" includes the State Health Benefits Program, the School Employees’ Health Benefits Program, and the State Medicaid program.
