What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes how Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance handle coverage for opioid treatment and recovery support services. It requires testing a Medicare program where patients wouldn't have to pay out-of-pocket costs like copays or deductibles for certain opioid treatments. It also lets state Medicaid programs cover recovery support services as part of medication-assisted treatment and increases the federal government's share of paying for that treatment. Starting in 2027, private insurance companies would also have to cover certain opioid treatments and recovery support services without charging patients out-of-pocket costs.
