New Jersey Statutes Title 30. Institutions and Agencies 30 § 4D-6p

a. Subject to subsection b. of this section and to the extent consistent with clinical guidelines, the State Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare programs shall provide coverage of prescription drug refills even when the covered person has not yet reached the scheduled refill date, provided that the prescription itself would remain valid beyond the refill date, in a manner calculated to ensure an enrollee's ability to maintain at least a 30-day supply, or a 90-day supply of a maintenance medication supply at home but not to exceed a 120-day supply on-hand at any given time. The coverage shall be provided based on the authorization for the most recently filled prescription and additional authorization for the refill shall not be required.

b. The provisions of this section shall be in effect if:

c. The coverage shall be provided on an in-network basis to the same extent as for any other refills of prescription drugs, except that:

d. The Commissioner of Human Services shall apply for such State plan amendments or waivers as may be necessary to implement the provisions of this section and to secure federal financial participation for State Medicaid expenditures under the federal Medicaid program.

e. The Division of Consumer Affairs, in consultation with the Commissioner of Human Services, may develop restrictions on the filling or refilling of prescriptions by pharmacists to address shortage concerns, provided those restrictions shall exclude restricting use for existing conditions to the maximum extent practicable.
