Plan and jurisdiction considerations
Confirm DOBI jurisdiction or documented self-funded opt-in, plus service and facility eligibility. Opt-in cannot be presumed.
Federal fallback
Federal IDR generally governs eligible self-funded claims without a state opt-in and state-law gaps.
Timing and fees
New Jersey arbitration has state-specific negotiation, filing, batching, and fee rules. Verify the current DOBI application and administrator instructions.
Air ambulance considerations
Air ambulance disputes generally remain federal when eligible.
