Requires hospitals to perform psychological and psychiatric evaluations on certain patients and requires health insurance coverage for such evaluations.

S 4616 requires hospitals in New Jersey to perform psychological and psychiatric evaluations on patients being treated for drug overdoses before releasing them from the hospital. The bill mandates that all health insurance plans - including individual, group, and employer-sponsored policies - must cover these evaluations at the same level as other medical treatments. This applies to all health insurance contracts issued, renewed, or delivered in New Jersey on or after the bill's effective date. The legislation directly affects hospitals, patients recovering from drug overdoses, and health insurance providers across the state.
