This bill aims to prohibit health insurance carriers from imposing any time limits on the coverage of anesthesia services related to medical or surgical procedures. Specifically, it states that carriers, which include various types of health insurance organizations authorized to issue health benefits plans in New Jersey, cannot restrict coverage based on the duration of anesthesia services provided before, during, or after such procedures.

The bill defines "anesthesia services" according to the prevailing medical coding standards established by the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology code for anesthesia, including relevant modifier codes. The legislation is set to take effect 90 days after its enactment and will apply to all policies and contracts that are delivered, issued, executed, or renewed after that date.
