Bill 118 s 4860, also known as the Residential Substance Use Disorder Services Coverage Act, aims to make changes to the Social Security Act in order to provide coverage for specific residential substance use disorder services under the Medicare program.

The bill seeks to address the growing issue of substance use disorders by expanding Medicare coverage to include residential treatment services for individuals struggling with substance abuse. This would allow Medicare beneficiaries to access necessary treatment and support for their substance use disorder in a residential setting.

By amending title XVIII of the Social Security Act, the bill aims to ensure that individuals with substance use disorders have access to the care they need to overcome their addiction and improve their overall health and well-being. This could potentially lead to better outcomes for individuals struggling with substance abuse and reduce the burden on the healthcare system. Overall, the Residential Substance Use Disorder Services Coverage Act is a step towards addressing the opioid epidemic and other substance use disorders by expanding access to necessary treatment services for Medicare beneficiaries.
