A 2191 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Remote Methadone Dosing Pilot Program;" appropriates $225,000.

This bill establishes a three-year Remote Methadone Dosing Pilot Program in New Jersey, appropriating $225,000 total. It selects one opioid treatment program (OTP) each in Atlantic City, Camden, and Paterson to test using telehealth for remote monitoring of patients receiving take-home methadone doses, under federal/state rules and clinical appropriateness. Participating OTFs must report annually on patient outcomes, treatment compliance, cost savings (like reduced transportation), and retention. The program aims to evaluate whether remote dosing improves treatment access and reduces costs, with a final report due to the Governor and Legislature within four years.
