N.J. aims to cut medical costs in auto insurance
Gov. Chris Christie’s administration, in what it says is an effort to control auto insurance costs, proposed Monday to overhaul New Jersey’s rules to limit medical expenses for people injured in car crashes.
Dozens of revisions to the state’s personal injury protection, or PIP, system would change fees paid to same-day surgery centers, reduce costs associated with alternative providers such as chiropractors and clamp down on attorney’s fees in arbitration cases. (Symons, Gannett)
