Prohibits SHBP, SEHBP, and Medicaid from denying coverage for maintenance medications for chronic conditions for covered persons solely because of change in health benefits plan or pharmacy benefits manager.
This bill prohibits New Jersey's State Health Benefits Program (SHBP), School Employees' Health Benefits Program (SEHBP), and Medicaid from denying coverage for maintenance medications treating chronic conditions solely due to changes in a person's health plan or pharmacy benefits manager. It ensures coverage continues if the individual was taking the medication before the change and the new plan covers the same class of drugs. The law applies to all enrolled individuals in these programs and takes effect seven months after enactment. It prevents disruptions in care for chronic conditions during routine plan transitions.
