NO PAIN Act
In March 2021, Senators Portman (R-OH), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced the Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation (NOPAIN) Act. The legislation aims to help address barriers to non-opioid pain management for those enrolled in Medicare, which will help stem the opioid epidemic across the nation.
“I am pleased to see this important legislation included in this end-of-year package. The NO PAIN Act helps to provide better access to non-opioid pain management medications which will be life changing for many and will be a good tool to help combat the opioid crisis,” said Portman.
Under current law, hospitals receive the same payment from Medicare regardless of whether a physician prescribes an opioid, or a non-opioid. As a result, hospitals rely on opioids, which are typically dispensed by a pharmacy after discharge at little or no cost to the hospital. The NOPAIN Act would change this policy by directing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide separate Medicare reimbursement for non-opioid treatments used to manage pain in both the hospital outpatient department (HOPD) and the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) settings. U.S. Representatives Terri Sewell (D-AL) and David McKinley (R-WV) led companion legislation in the House. A one-pager on the bill can be found here. Bill text can be found here.
