Bill information
Summary
To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to encourage appropriate prescribing under Medicaid for victims of opioid overdose.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change Medicaid rules to help people who have survived opioid overdoses get better addiction treatment. Medicaid is the federal health insurance program for low-income Americans. The bill encourages doctors to prescribe medicines that reduce overdose risk and addiction, rather than just treating overdose emergencies. It affects Medicaid programs in all states and the people they cover. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is now in the early review stage.
