Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce opioid use in Nevada by requiring healthcare facilities and providers to offer patients a ‘non-opioid directive’ form. Patients can use this form to indicate they don’t want opioids, and practitioners must inform patients about it and provide the form. Insurers and facilities are also required to post the form online. The bill also mandates alternative treatments to opioids and establishes an advisory board to monitor implementation and make recommendations for opioid use reduction.
