New Jersey injury law, in practice
New Jersey is a no-fault state where the insured chooses both their PIP limit and whether they retain the right to sue for pain and suffering. For treating practices the defining feature is Decision Point Review: most care beyond the initial period must be precertified with the insurer before it is provided, or it will not be paid.
Procedures must be precertified through Decision Point Review before they are performed, so the authorisation timeline, not the surgical calendar, sets the booking date.
For treating providers
- Decision Point Review governs whether you get paidMuch ongoing treatment must be precertified with the PIP carrier before it is provided. Care delivered outside that process is routinely denied regardless of medical necessity, which makes administrative timing as important as clinical judgement.
- The PIP limit is a choice, so it variesStandard PIP is $15,000 but the insured may have selected up to $250,000. Knowing which applies before treatment planning changes what a course of care can realistically cover.
- The lawsuit election shapes the case behind youIf the claimant elected the limitation on lawsuit option, non-economic recovery requires clearing a statutory threshold — and that determination rests on the treating records.
