Opioid Addiction Treatment: No Out-of-Pocket Costs and Enhanced Support
This act aims to make opioid addiction treatment more accessible by eliminating out-of-pocket costs for patients under Medicare and private health insurance plans. This means medications, therapies, and support services will be available without additional fees, helping more people combat addiction.
Key points
No out-of-pocket costs (like co-insurance or deductibles) for opioid addiction medications, behavioral therapies, and recovery support services under Medicare.
Private health plans will also be required to cover opioid addiction treatment, overdose reversal medications, and recovery support services without cost-sharing.
Increased federal funding for states under Medicaid for medication-assisted treatment and recovery support services for opioid addiction.
