Summary
The NOPAIN for Veterans Act amends federal law to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to include newly approved non-opioid pain medications in its national formulary within one year of FDA approval or eligibility for Medicare payment, whichever comes first. The bill defines non-opioid pain management drugs as FDA-approved medications that reduce postoperative, postsurgical, regional, or acute pain without acting on opioid receptors. The VA must implement these requirements within 90 days of enactment, though the funding may not come from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund.
