N.J. Stat. § 52:14-17.46.6u
The School Employees' Health Benefits Commission shall ensure that every contract purchased or renewed by the commission on or after the effective date of P.L.2023, c.105 (C.17:48-6xx et al.), shall provide benefits to a person covered thereunder for expenses incurred for a prescription asthma inhaler, if recommended or prescribed by a participating physician or participating nurse practitioner/clinical nurse specialist. Coverage for the purchase of a covered prescription asthma inhaler shall not be subject to any deductible, and no copayment or coinsurance for the purchase of a covered prescription asthma inhaler shall exceed $50 per 30-day supply, except a contract provided by the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission that qualifies as a high-deductible health plan shall provide coverage for the purchase of a covered prescription asthma inhaler at the lowest deductible and other cost-sharing requirement permitted for a high-deductible health plan under section 223(c)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. s.223(c)(2)(A)). The provisions of this section shall apply to a plan that meets the requirements of a catastrophic plan, as defined in 45 C.F.R. s.156.155, to the maximum extent permitted by federal law.
Nothing in this section shall prevent the School Employees' Health Benefits Commission from reducing a covered person's cost-sharing requirement by an amount greater than the amount specified in this section or prevent the commission from utilizing formulary management, including a mandatory generic policy, to promote the use of lower-cost alternative generic drugs that are the therapeutic equivalent of the brand-name drug, which could result in the member's copay being higher than set forth in this section.
