Establishes insulin assistance program.
This bill establishes a state-run insulin assistance program administered by New Jersey's Department of Human Services. It provides full reimbursement to participating pharmacies for insulin and related supplies dispensed to uninsured individuals who qualify based on financial hardship and have a valid prescription. Qualified individuals receive insulin at no cost for 90-day periods, with the option to reapply for additional 90-day terms if funds remain available. Participation is contingent on both department funding and documented inability to afford insulin despite having a prescription. The program requires pharmacies to register with the state and dispense insulin only to approved individuals meeting the financial criteria.
