Requires prescription drug services covered under Medicaid program to be provided via fee-for-service delivery system.
New Jersey's A3125 bill would require the state's Medicaid program to pay for prescription drugs directly through a fee-for-service system instead of through managed care plans. Reimbursement for covered drugs would be calculated as the lowest of several pricing methods (including NADAC costs, federal limits, or state maximums) plus a fixed $10.92 dispensing fee per prescription. This change would directly affect pharmacies dispensing drugs to Medicaid patients and alter how the state reimburses providers for prescription services. The bill aims to increase state Medicaid savings while standardizing payment rates across different drug types and pharmacy settings.
