For legislation relative to opioid prescribing practices and access to pain management. Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.

AI Summary

This bill aims to improve access to non-opioid and non-pharmaceutical pain management services in Massachusetts. It requires health insurance plans to develop and submit for approval a plan to provide adequate coverage and access to pain management alternatives to opioid prescribing. The Division of Insurance is tasked with developing guidelines for these plans and assessing them as part of the carrier accreditation process. The bill also requires insurance carriers to provide educational materials to their networks about these pain management access plans and to make the information publicly available. Additionally, the bill directs the Center for Health Information and Analysis to assist the Division of Insurance in establishing standards for evaluating the accuracy of carrier provider network documents related to mental health, substance use disorder, and pain management services.
