Supported H.R.2062/S. 1012 - To amend the Public Health Service Act to protect the confidentiality of substance use disorder patient records.

Supported H.R.1920 - Medicaid Bump Act - To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide a higher Federal matching rate for increased expenditures under Medicaid for mental and behavioral health services, and for other purposes.

Supported H.R.1329 - Medicaid Reentry Act - This bill allows Medicaid payment for medical services furnished to an incarcerated individual during the 30-day period preceding the individual's release.

Supported S 824/HR 1767 - Excellence in Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Expansion Act This legislation would extend and expand the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration, which is set to end in mid-2019. 

Supported the Parity Enforcement Act (HR 2848). This legislation would give the U.S. Department of Labor authority to levy civil monetary penalties against health insurers and plan sponsors for parity violations of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.

Supported HR 2734/S 1448 -  Safer Prescribing of Controlled Substances Act. The bill calls for mandatory education for practitioners licensed to dispense or conduct research with controlled substances in schedule II, III, IV, or V.

The bill would prohibit state Medicaid programs, beginning in October 1, 2020, and ending September 30, 2025, from imposing prior authorizations or other types of utilization control policies or procedures on medications approved to treat OUD, including, with respect to the provision of those medications, counseling services and behavioral therapy.

Support the Stopping Appealing Flavors in E-Cigarettes for Kids Act (SAFE Kids Act), introduced by Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Lisa Murkowski (S. 655) and Representative Diana DeGette and Representative Jamie Raskin (H.R. 1498).  The bill would prohibit flavors in e-cigarettes unless the manufacturer demonstrates that a flavor will help with smoking cessation, not increase youth initiation, and not increase the risk of harm to the user. It furthermore prohibits use of flavors in other non-cigarette tobacco products, such as cigars and smokeless tobacco.  

Opposed the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act of 2019, which would prohibit FDA from promulgating any public health protections related to what the cigar industry calls traditional large and premium cigars. Even the most basic Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements like ingredient disclosure and warning labels as well as enforcement of youth access laws would not apply to these products.

Submitted comments on the 2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule. In its comments, ASAM applauded the introduction of two bundled payment structures, one for outpatient treatment of OUD and one for OTPs. However, it also noted that the proposed reimbursement rates were significantly lower than necessary to expand access to MAT.

Supported the Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act of 2019 (HR 2339) which would, among other things, amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to the sale and marketing of tobacco products","Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),Food & Drug Administration (FDA),Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)",,60000,0,0,2019-10-17T15:08:54.327000-04:00
