NJ Division of Consumer Affairs Issues Updated Administrative Order

Healthcare Services in Office Practices

Updated Administrative Order

Dear Healthcare Licensee,

This notice is to inform you that the Division of Consumer Affairs (“Division”) has issued an Administrative Order (“AO”) modifying AO 2021-11, which governed the provision of health care services in office settings in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The AO,  DCA-AO-2022-01, now requires health care professionals who provide care in office settings to monitor and adhere to any guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), the New Jersey Department of Health (“NJDOH”), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), and local health departments. This change will help ensure that the provision of health care in office settings is consistent with prevailing health and safety standards, as they evolve over time.

Thank you for your continued efforts to protect public health and safety.

Cari Fais
Acting Director
Division of Consumer Affairs
Office of the New Jersey Attorney General
