SUPPORT Act for Opioid Recovery: Effects on Healthcare and Clinicians
By
October Boyles, MSN, BSN, RN
| January 4, 2019 |
0
The
opioid epidemic
affects the lives of millions in the United States, and according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),
over a hundred Americans
die every day from an opioid overdose. Many Americans are dealing with the pain of losing a loved one to opioid addiction. All Americans miss out on the social and economic contributions lost individuals could have made. Opioid dependence, in general, adds to the nation’s financial burden. It’s estimated that the country loses over $78 billion a year to cover costs relating to prescription opioid misuse. These costs include health care expenses, addiction treatment, criminal justice costs and lost productivity.
With a recognized need to combat the opioid epidemic, President Trump signed the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities Act, also called the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. This
healthcare act became public law
on October 24, 2018. The
purpose of the act
is to help prevent opioid use disorder and provide recovery and treatment.
In this article, we will navigate the SUPPORT Act and consider ways the act will affect healthcare professionals, including behavioral health workers who must follow mental health policies. We’ll also discuss the benefits and potential problems of the act.
What Is the SUPPORT Act?
The SUPPORT Act includes dozens of different bills, all aiming to end the opioid crisis. The act affects every sector of the healthcare industry, from family medical practices to health insurance companies. Most importantly, the act impacts patients. Perhaps the most significant impact of the act is that it removes restrictions for Medicare and Medicaid patients in need of opioid addiction treatment and aims to stop the overprescribing of opioid medications.
Other
highlights include
:
· The act temporarily requires coverage of medication-assisted treatment for patients with Medicaid
· Certified opioid treatment programs are now covered for patients with Medicare
· Medicare enrollees must undergo an initial examination which includes screening for an opioid use disorder
· Prescriptions for controlled substances must be sent through electronic prescription programs
· Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans must cover mental health and substance use disorder services and should not be treated differently than other medical issues covered under CHIP
· Healthcare providers must check a Medicaid enrollee’s prescription history in the prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) before prescribing controlled substances
· The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) must provide educational resources to Medicare beneficiaries regarding opioid use, pain management and opioid alternatives
· The act supports the National Institutes of Health (NIH) using cuttin
