Designated Authorized Representative (DAR)
Fee-for-Service Members Can Get Online Access to Health Information through MyNJFCHealthData
New Jersey Medicaid/NJ FamilyCare (NJFC) created MyNJFCHealthData. MyNJFCHealthData allows members who are 18 years or older and who are enrolled in the NJFC Fee-for-Service (FFS) program to view their NJFC health information. Please note that this service is not available to those who are enrolled in one of the five NJFC managed care organizations (MCOs). If you are enrolled in a NJ FamilyCare MCO or in a Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (FIDE SNP) MCO, please call the Member Services phone number printed on your MCO ID card to find out more about how to access your health information.
Important Note: This form is only for online access to electronic health information. If you want to name someone to be your representative when applying for NJ Medicaid/NJFC, or for other business with the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS), click on this link.
The ability to access your electronic health information, while keeping it secure, empowers you to make the best-informed decisions about your care. NJFC Fee-for-Service member claims information that you can view may include hospitalizations, physician visits, dental visits, vision services, pharmacy products, and other types of medical services and equipment received on or after January 1, 2016. Claims information can only be viewed by using a compatible third party application (App) of your choice. To learn more about MyNJFCHealthData and compatible Apps, please read our MyNJFCHealthData Resource Guide.
What is a Designated Authorized Representative (DAR)?
A DAR is someone whom you assign to have access to your health information, such as a family member or other trusted person. Some DARs may have legal authority to act on your behalf if you are determined to be mentally incapacitated.
How to Assign or Become a Designated Authorized Representative (DAR) For Online Access to Health Information
|
When using MyNJFCHealthData, there may be situations where it is desirable or required that another adult individual, other than the NJFC member, be allowed to access the member’s electronic health information. This is done by submitting a Designated Authorized Representative (DAR) Request Form for approval by NJFC.

However, assigning a DAR does not remove the adult NJFC Fee-for-Service member’s ability to access their health information using MyNJFCHealthData.
