Introduced Text

New Jersey S1213 prohibits pharmacies from charging extra fees for processing prescriptions transmitted by telephone or electronic means.

New Jersey S1213 amends existing law to prohibit pharmacies from charging additional fees for processing prescriptions transmitted by telephone or electronic means, unless the same fees apply to written prescriptions. The bill aims to ensure that electronic prescriptions are not disadvantaged by additional processing costs, potentially encouraging their use. The requirements do not apply to telemedicine or telehealth organizations that exclusively provide telehealth and telemedicine services. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
