Reduces copayments and coinsurance for asthma inhalers covered by certain health benefits plans.

This New Jersey bill (A 453) limits out-of-pocket costs for asthma inhalers under most health insurance plans. It requires coverage for prescribed asthma inhalers with no deductible and caps copayments or coinsurance at $35 per 30-day supply. The law applies to hospital, medical, and health service corporation plans issued or renewed in New Jersey, directly affecting asthma patients covered by these plans. Plans may lower costs further but cannot exceed this $35 limit per month.
