Bill overview
The NOPAIN for Veterans Act aims to increase access to non-opioid pain medications for veterans. It updates the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) national formulary to include medications approved by the FDA for pain relief that don't rely on opioid receptors. The bill requires the VA to quickly add eligible non-opioid drugs to its formulary and standardization list, and it specifically prohibits using funds from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund for this purpose. This legislation seeks to reduce veterans’ reliance on opioids for pain management.
