Bill overview
The Non-Opioid Directive Act aims to reduce opioid use for pain management by requiring the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create a standardized form that patients can use to inform healthcare providers about their preference to avoid opioids. The bill mandates that healthcare providers and insurers share this information during treatment and pre-authorization processes, while also providing protections for providers who administer opioids to patients with executed forms in certain circumstances. It also establishes procedures for the form’s execution, revocation, and inclusion in medical records.
