AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Government Accountability Office, led by the Comptroller General, to study the country's inpatient and outpatient treatment for opioid-use disorders. Within 24 months of the law taking effect, the Comptroller General would have to begin the evaluation and send a report to Congress. The study would look at treatment capacity, the number of patients, regional differences in access, access to evidence-based treatment including FDA-approved medicines, and access for American Indians and Alaska Natives through Indian health programs. It would also examine barriers to real-time reporting of de-identified drug overdose information and ways to overcome them.
