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

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program allowing opioid treatment programs in Atlantic City, Camden, and Paterson to use telehealth for remote monitoring of patients receiving take-home methadone doses. It appropriates $225,000 ($75,000 per participating program) to cover costs and requires each program to report annually on patient outcomes, treatment compliance, and cost savings like reduced transportation needs. Participation is voluntary for patients, and programs must use department-approved telehealth technology. The pilot aims to evaluate whether remote methadone dosing improves treatment adherence and lowers costs, with a final report due to the Governor and Legislature within four years to inform potential statewide expansion.
