Requires hospitals to perform psychological and psychiatric evaluations on certain patients and requires health insurance coverage for such evaluations.

This bill requires New Jersey hospitals to perform psychological and psychiatric evaluations on patients being treated for drug overdoses before releasing them from the hospital. It mandates that all health insurance plans, including individual policies, group plans, and health maintenance organizations, cover these evaluations at the same level as other medical conditions. The requirement applies to all licensed acute care hospitals and all health insurance providers operating in New Jersey. The bill also directs the Commissioner of Health to establish necessary regulations to implement these requirements.
