IHA Summary: President Signs Federal Opioid Package

Today, President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, H.R. 6 (115).

The bipartisan Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act was signed into law.
IHA supported several provisions of the bill, including a temporary allowance for states to receive federal Medicaid matching funds for services provided in Institutions for Mental Diseases.
The bill also covers record sharing, telehealth access, prescription drug monitoring programs and alternative protocols for pain management that limit opioid use.
