>Hospitals, doctors will provide info on appeals
By mid-summer, hospitals and doctors’ offices across the state will provide information on how insurance company coverage denials can be appealed.
A bill requiring such disclosure was signed into law last month by Gov. Chris Christie and celebrated Tuesday afternoon at a ceremony at Jersey Shore University Medical Center on Route 33.
Two of the bill’s sponsors – state Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande, R-Monmouth, and state Sen. Diane Allen, R-Burlington – were on hand with hospital officials and Casagrande’s husband for the ceremony. (Bowman, Gannett)
