An Act concerning the use of a prescription medicine that contains 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)
This bill proposes to cap the cost of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy services at $5,000 per treatment unit in Massachusetts. It defines a treatment unit as the administration of the drug and related counseling within a seven-day period. The law would apply to any licensed provider registered to prescribe, manufacture, or distribute the medication. Additionally, the bill removes a specific exemption from the state's controlled substance regulations for this therapy. The provisions only become active once the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves MDMA as a prescription drug.
