Requires certain health insurers to provide coverage for counseling and behavioral therapies for any person receiving medication-assisted treatment.

New Jersey bill A 1775 requires health insurers (including hospital, medical, and health service corporations) to cover counseling and behavioral therapies for anyone receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. The bill mandates that this coverage be provided under the same terms and conditions as other medical treatments, prohibiting stricter limits on mental health/substance use disorder benefits compared to general medical care. It directly affects insured individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders and requires insurers to comply with federal mental health parity standards. The law would apply to all health insurance contracts issued or renewed in New Jersey after its effective date.
