Prohibits pharmacy benefits managers from requiring covered persons to use mail service pharmacies.

This New Jersey bill (A1440) prohibits pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) from forcing people with prescription drug coverage to use mail-order pharmacies. It directly affects individuals enrolled in health plans managed by PBMs, including those covered under private insurance, state health programs, or school employee plans. The key provision requires PBMs to offer a choice between mail-order and traditional pharmacies, and obtain written consent before enrolling someone in mail-order service. PBMs may still provide mail-order options but cannot automatically enroll members or deny access to in-person pharmacies without permission. The law aims to prevent mandatory mail-order enrollment without patient consent.
