Overview
This bill aims to simplify prescription drug access in New Jersey by prohibiting insurance companies (carriers) from requiring prior authorization for certain medications. Specifically, it prevents carriers from demanding approval before a doctor can prescribe an interchangeable drug if the brand-name or generic version isn't readily available. The bill defines key terms like ‘brand name,’ ‘generic version,’ and ‘prior authorization’ to ensure clarity. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
