S.3522

No Red Tape For Addiction Treatment Act requires Medicaid to cover opioid treatment medications without prior authorization or dosage limits.

The No Red Tape For Addiction Treatment Act amends the Social Security Act to mandate that state Medicaid programs cover at least one formulation of each medication for opioid use disorder without prior authorization or dosage limits. This change aims to streamline access to essential treatments for opioid addiction. The bill also requires the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission to report on the use of utilization management controls for medication-assisted treatment under Medicaid, including their impact on patient access and provider practices.
