Requires DOH to maintain emergency stockpile of insulin and authorizes dispensing of emergency supply of insulin to certain patients.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to maintain an emergency stockpile of insulin containing the 10 most common brands and types used by residents. It authorizes the DOH to provide a one-time 30-day emergency insulin supply at cost to residents whose supply runs out before their next prescription can be filled, with exceptions for demonstrated need. Pharmacists may also dispense one 30-day emergency supply annually under specific conditions, such as when a prescriber cannot authorize more insulin. The DOH must reevaluate the stockpile quarterly, collaborate on insulin selection, and report dispensing to the state's prescription monitoring database. This directly affects New Jersey residents facing insulin shortages, creating a state-managed safety net for emergency access.
