Summary
This bill amends federal law to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to add certain non-opioid pain medications to its national formulary within one year of their FDA approval for postoperative or regional pain relief. The bill defines non-opioid pain management drugs as those approved by the FDA to reduce pain without acting on opioid receptors, and requires the VA to include such medications in its drug standardization list. Implementation must occur within 90 days of enactment, though funding cannot come from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund.
