Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the care veterans receive for opioid use disorder by requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to share a veteran’s history of opioid prescriptions with their Community Care health providers. Currently, this information isn't always automatically transferred. The bill mandates that the VA transmit this prescription history to providers who deliver VA healthcare services and through a Third Party Administrator, allowing for a more coordinated and comprehensive approach to treatment.
