NOPAIN for Veterans Act ensures non-opioid pain medications are included in VA's national formulary.

NOPAIN for Veterans Act mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs to include non-opioid pain management drugs or biological products in its national formulary and drug standardization list once they are eligible for additional payment. These drugs must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration to reduce pain without acting on opioid receptors. The act prohibits using funds from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund for its implementation and requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to implement these changes within 90 days of the act's enactment.
