What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryRemoves costs for opioid addiction treatment
This bill makes it easier for people to access opioid addiction treatment by removing upfront costs. It would let Medicare test a program where people with opioid addiction get treatment and recovery support services without paying copayments or deductibles. It also allows state Medicaid programs to cover recovery services alongside medication-assisted treatment, and starting in 2027, private insurance companies must do the same.
How it affects you
If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or private health insurance and struggle with opioid addiction, you could get treatment and recovery support without paying out-of-pocket costs like copayments or deductibles. States would also have more flexibility to help people recover. The bill aims to make treatment more accessible by removing financial barriers that might keep people from getting the help they need.

Maximizing Opioid Recovery Emergency Savings Act or the MORE Savings Act
This bill modifies coverage of opioid treatments and recovery support services under Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance.
Specifically, the bill requires the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test a model in which specified opioid treatments and recovery support services are provided under Medicare without cost-sharing (e.g., coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles).
The bill also allows state Medicaid programs to cover recovery support services as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and increases the applicable Federal Medical Assistance Percentage for MAT.
Additionally, beginning in 2027, private health insurers must cover specified opioid treatments and MAT-associated recovery support services without cost-sharing.
