Bill > HR4097

This bill, the Medicare Beneficiary Opioid Addiction Treatment Act, aims to provide coverage for methadone under Medicare Part B. Specifically, it amends the Social Security Act to include methadone as a covered service when furnished or dispensed to Medicare beneficiaries for the purpose of maintenance or detoxification treatment by a physician or other practitioner with the appropriate registration or waiver. The bill also includes provisions to ensure budget neutrality, requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement the amendments in a manner that does not increase expenditures under the Medicare physician fee schedule or the outpatient prospective payment system.
