This bill aims to ensure that health insurance carriers in New Jersey cannot impose time limits on the coverage of anesthesia services related to medical or surgical procedures. Specifically, it prohibits carriers from limiting coverage based on the duration of anesthesia services provided before, during, or after such procedures. The bill defines "anesthesia services" in accordance with the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology code for anesthesia, which includes relevant modifier codes.

The legislation applies to various types of health insurance providers, including insurance companies, health service corporations, hospital service corporations, medical service corporations, and health maintenance organizations authorized to issue health benefits plans in the state. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after its enactment and will apply to all policies and contracts delivered, issued, executed, or renewed after that date.
