Requires DOH to maintain emergency stockpile of insulin and authorizes dispensing of emergency supply of insulin to certain patients.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to maintain an emergency stockpile of the 10 most common insulin types used by residents, with quarterly reevaluations to adjust quantities based on supply chain conditions and anticipated needs. It authorizes the Department to provide emergency insulin at cost to residents whose supply runs out before their next prescription, and allows pharmacists to dispense one emergency 30-day supply annually under specific conditions. Health insurance plans must cover one emergency 30-day insulin supply per year with no more than $35 in copayments, and both the Department and pharmacists must report dispensing to the prescription monitoring database to prevent duplicate distributions.
