Establishes "Remote Methadone Dosing Pilot Program;" appropriates $225,000.
New Jersey's bill A 2378 establishes a three-year Remote Methadone Dosing Pilot Program to test whether telehealth can improve opioid treatment. It selects one opioid treatment program each in Atlantic City, Camden, and Paterson to offer remote methadone dosing via approved telehealth technology, allowing eligible patients to receive take-home doses with remote monitoring when clinically appropriate. Participating programs must report annually on patient outcomes (like treatment compliance and retention) and cost savings (such as reduced transportation costs), with the state requiring a final report within four years to evaluate expansion potential. The bill appropriates $225,000 total ($75,000 per program) to fund the pilot and support participating opioid treatment programs.
