Remote Opioid Monitoring Act of 2023

Bill 118 HR 4093, also known as the Remote Opioid Monitoring Act of 2023, aims to address the ongoing opioid crisis in the United States by implementing a system for remote monitoring of opioid prescriptions. The bill proposes the establishment of a national database that would track opioid prescriptions and monitor patients who are prescribed these medications.

Under the Remote Opioid Monitoring Act, healthcare providers would be required to report all opioid prescriptions to the database, including the type and dosage of the medication, as well as the patient's information. This database would allow healthcare professionals to identify potential cases of opioid misuse or abuse, and take appropriate action to prevent further harm.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the use of telemedicine services to monitor patients who are prescribed opioids. This would allow healthcare providers to remotely check in with patients, assess their progress, and make adjustments to their treatment plan as needed. Overall, the Remote Opioid Monitoring Act of 2023 seeks to improve the monitoring and management of opioid prescriptions in order to combat the opioid crisis and prevent further harm to individuals and communities across the United States.
