Tyler’s Law
H.R. 2004, sponsored by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), requires the Department of Health and Human Services to study how often Medicare hospital emergency departments test for fentanyl in overdose patients, the costs of such testing, and its impact on patient outcomes. Within six months after completing the study, HHS must issue guidance on whether hospitals should make fentanyl testing routine for overdose cases, how to ensure clinicians know what substances they are testing for in standard drug tests, and how fentanyl testing may affect future overdose risk and other health outcomes. The bill has bipartisan support with 65 cosponsors (35 Democrats, 30 Republicans).
