What it does
The bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a two-year pilot program to expand access to virtual-based opioid treatment for enrolled veterans through outreach, referral networks, and an interagency task force. It requires a study on barriers to substance use disorder treatment and annual progress reports, with the program potentially extended if effective. The initiative targets veterans enrolled in VA healthcare and aims to integrate telehealth-based opioid treatment into the Veterans Community Care Program.
