Lower opioid use disorder treatment costs by eliminating cost-sharing for medications, outpatient treatment, overdose reversal medications, and recovery support services through the MORE Savings Act.

The MORE Savings Act would require individual and group health insurance plans to cover medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), overdose reversal medications, treatment in outpatient settings, and recovery support services with no cost-sharing for patients. The bill would also establish a 5-year pilot program in 15 states to eliminate cost-sharing under Medicare and provide an enhanced federal match under Medicaid for people accessing treatment and recovery services.

Dean's office says the MORE Savings Act would eliminate cost-sharing for opioid use disorder treatment and recovery services, including through private insurance, Medicaid, and a Medicare pilot program.
