H.R. 5083, Expanding Access to Evidence-Based Opioid Treatment for Seniors Act

Bill Summary: H.R. 5083, the Expanding Access to Evidence-Based Opioid Treatment for Seniors Act, would allow Medicare beneficiaries suffering from opioid use disorders to access treatment at opioid treatment programs (OTPs), which provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Dating back to the 1960s, MAT is the most effective treatment for opioid use disorder, sustaining long-term recovery by combining medications (i.e., methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) with counseling and behavioral therapies.
