No Red Tape For Addiction Treatment Act
This bill requires states to cover medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder under Medicaid without prior authorization or dosage limits for at least one formulation of each approved drug. It directly affects Medicaid patients with opioid use disorder and their healthcare providers, removing administrative barriers that previously required extra approvals or restricted dosing. The bill amends Medicaid law to mandate this coverage, while also requiring a federal report analyzing how current state policies (like dosing limits or counseling requirements) impact access to MAT. The changes apply starting one year after enactment, with states needing time to adjust if new state laws are required.
