NJ DEPARTMENT of HUMAN SERVICES PROPOSES NEW RULES on MEDICAID MORATORIUM
The Department proposed additional rules regarding the moratorium on enrollment of new providers of pharmaceutical benefits. The specific language states, “At N.J.A.C. 10:51-1.2(a)2, a new subparagraph (a)2i is proposed which would establish that a retail pharmacy that is physically located within a hospital, Federally Qualified Health Center or supermarket would meet the special needs criteria. The term “supermarket,” when used in this paragraph, would be defined to mean a food store with grocery, meat, dairy and produce departments with $2 million minimum annual sales from these departments to retail customers.”
The public has until November 30, 2007 to submit written comments regarding the proposed rule. The proposed rule can be found in its entirety at: http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/Rules/07P23MORATORIUMAmendments.doc

GOVERNOR CORZINE WARNS OF LARGER THAN EXPECTED BUDGET DEFICIT NEXT YEAR
Initially the deficit had been projected to be $2.5 billion and while revenue projections are 1.4% ahead of forecasts, this week the Governor said the State could be facing a budget deficit as large as $3.5 billion next year or approximately 10% of total State revenues. Deficits that size are difficult to overcome without major spending cuts, tax increases or a combination of both.
