AI Summary
This bill, the Extending Access to Addiction Treatment Act, amends the Social Security Act to extend the requirement for state Medicaid plans to provide coverage for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders. Specifically, it removes the previous requirement for the MAT coverage to expire on September 30, 2025, and instead requires states to certify their continued provision of this coverage to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Health and Human Services at least every 5 years. The bill aims to ensure ongoing access to MAT, which combines behavioral therapy and medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone to treat opioid and other substance use disorders.
