State legislation
Legislators in several U.S. states have pushed changes to state laws regarding naloxone co-prescribing. Many have passed and were signed into law. Examples include:
- California. Signed into law in 2018, the California Naloxone Requirement Bill requires medical prescribers to offer a prescription for naloxone (or equivalent) to certain populations at higher risk of overdosing from opiate drugs.[1]
- Colorado. The Colorado Harm Reduction Substance Use Disorders Law requires that the cost of opioid antagonists such as Narcan and Evzio be covered by health insurance.[2][3]
- Illinois. The Illinois Opioids-Covid-19-Naloxone Resolution, a legislative bill that is still working its way through the Illinois State Senate[4], if passed would urge the state to study the increase in opiate overdose deaths in Illinois and would urge the state to propose changes to prescription rules to include co-prescription of naloxone to patients in high-risk groups of overdose.[5]
- New Jersey. Still pending in the state Senate, the New Jersey Opioid Antidote Prescription Bill would require a co-prescription of naloxone or other opioid overdose agent with prescriptions for opioid medications for all patients who have a high risk of overdosing and tightens restrictions on the dispensing of opioid medications within the state.[6] Note that this is a distinction from other bills, which would merely allow or suggest co-prescription; in this bill, it would be required.
- New York. A bill introduced in New York, the New York Mandatory Opioid Antagonist Prescription Bill, would require doctors and other prescribers to co-prescribe an opioid antagonist agent with the first opioid prescription of the year for certain high-risk patients.[7]
- South Carolina.
