Supporting Seniors with Opioid Use Disorder Act of 2023
This bill requires Medicare to improve outreach about coverage for opioid use disorder treatment (including telehealth) to beneficiaries and providers, with tailored efforts for at-risk seniors. It mandates collecting specific data on Medicare beneficiaries receiving medication-assisted treatment (including behavioral therapy) and identifying underserved geographic areas. The Secretary must evaluate outreach effectiveness, report findings to Congress, and convene stakeholders to share best practices on treatment integration. The bill directly affects Medicare beneficiaries with opioid use disorder, particularly seniors, by aiming to increase access to covered treatment services.
