Putting New Jersey PIP Regulations to Work for You
What is the maximum amount a medical provider may charge or be reimbursed?
In 1990, the New Jersey Commissioner of Insurance was required to set maximum reimbursement rates for specific medical procedures and services. As a result, the New Jersey Fee Schedule was created based on the fair and prevailing rates of 75% of the providers in a specific area of the state.
The New Jersey Fee Schedule appears in the New Jersey Administrative Code at NJAC § 11:3-29.4. The reimbursement rate for a particular charge is determined by the three different regions of the state in which a provider practices. The American Medical Association assigns a code based on its current procedural terminology (CPT) system for certain medical procedures.
The New Jersey Fee Schedule lists CPT codes for some medical procedures; however, others are not. If a procedure is listed on the fee schedule, payment for that procedure will be based on its CPT code listing.
When a procedure’s CPT code is not addressed within the New Jersey Fee Schedule, the Act stipulates that an insurer’s limit of liability:
“…shall be a reasonable amount considering the fee schedule amount for similar services or equipment in the region where the service or equipment was provided for, in the case of elective services or equipment provided outside the state, the region in which the insured resides. Where the fee schedule does not contain a reference to similar services or equipment, the insurer’s limit of liability for any medical expense benefit for any service or equipment not outlined in the fee schedule shall not exceed the usual, customary, and reasonable fee.”[1]
The “usual, customary, and reasonable fee” is determined by you as the medical provider. In other words, you are in control of what you charge for your services, and we can help ensure that you are reimbursed for your charges.
