New Jersey A3077 mandates that acute care general hospitals perform psychological and psychiatric evaluations on patients being treated for drug overdoses before their release. The bill also requires health insurance coverage for these evaluations, ensuring they are provided to the same extent as for any other medical condition. This applies to various health benefits plans, including those issued by health, hospital, and medical service corporations, commercial individual and group health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and health benefits plans under the New Jersey Individual.
