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.), 1 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. 1
L.2023, c. 105, eff. Feb. 1, 2024.
