Use of Mifepristone
We have reviewed the April 14, 2023 statement of Attorney General Platkin on the prescribing, dispensing and administration of mifepristone by licensed medical professionals. We fully concur with and echo Attorney General Platkin’s sentiments therein, in particular his recognition of the need for women to have unfettered access to reproductive health care, to include treatment with safe and effective medications such as mifepristone.

This Board will exercise its administrative and prosecutorial discretion and will not discipline licensees for continuing to prescribe, dispense, and/or administer mifepristone, in a manner consistent with the standards and conditions that were recognized nationally prior to the recent decisions and Orders entered by the Texas District Court, Washington District Court and Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Simply put, no New Jersey licensee should be, or will be, subject to professional discipline by this Board for prescribing, dispensing and/or administering mifepristone for medication abortions and miscarriage management in a manner consistent with pre-existing FDA approvals and conditions of use. This policy statement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as there is clarity of law on standards and conditions for use of mifepristone in this State.

SCAM ALERT
The Division of Consumer Affairs (Division) is warning all licensed professionals about individuals impersonating New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) investigators, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, DEA investigators, New Jersey Drug Control Unit investigators, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigators, and other law enforcement personnel, as part of an extortion scheme.

The impersonators are contacting licensees by telephone or letter, stating that they are the subject of an investigation. The callers are demanding money to clear up the matter, or threatening to revoke the individual’s license. Please be advised that the Division of Consumer Affairs will not contact licensees by telephone to discuss investigations or demand money.

Anyone receiving a telephone call from a person purporting to be any of the above mentioned individuals seeking money, should refuse the demand. We encourage you to report the call to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You may also report the call to the Division at AskConsumerAffairs@lps.state.nj.us.
