Requires health benefits plans to cover abuse-deterrent opioid analgesic drug products.

This bill requires New Jersey health insurance plans (carriers) to cover at least one abuse-deterrent opioid pain medication per active ingredient on their prescription formulary. It mandates that cost-sharing (like copays) for these abuse-deterrent drugs cannot exceed the lowest cost-sharing for similar non-abuse-deterrent opioids. The bill also prohibits requiring patients to try non-abuse-deterrent opioids first before accessing abuse-deterrent options. This applies to all health benefits plans delivered, issued, or renewed in New Jersey after the 90-day effective date following enactment.
