House Passes Rep. Mullin Bill to Prevent Opioid Overdoses
The opioid crisis takes the lives of 115 Americans each day. Today, the House acted to reduce the tragic amount of overdose deaths by passing H.R. 6082, the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act, sponsored by Congressman
"Doctors must have the whole picture on a patient's medical history in order to safely and effectively treat that patient," said Mullin. "This includes any history of substance use disorder. The Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act will update the decades-old, outdated law, known as 42 CFR Part 2, which keeps mental health records separate from other health records. H.R. 6082 will modernize how doctors access their patients' health records by streamlining 42 CFR Part 2 with current Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. I want to thank my colleague
"The opioid crisis is ravaging our families, our communities, and our country," said
