What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to create and administer

an addiction medicine consultation program to assist participating clinicians in

providing enhanced care to patients with substance addiction and to provide referral

support for patients with a substance abuse disorder, and to provide additional

services. DHS must review proposals submitted by organizations seeking to provide

consultation services through this consultation program and must designate sites

based on the organizations' submitted proposals. DHS must select qualified

providers to provide consultation program services that meet certain criteria

specified in the bill.

While the bill requires a consultation provider to have the capability to provide

services by telephone, a consultation provider may provide services by certain other

means of communication including in-person conference. A consultation provider

may also provide the following services, which are eligible for funding from DHS:

certain second opinion diagnostic and medication management evaluations and

certain in-person or Internet site-based educational seminars and refresher courses

provided to any participating clinician who uses the consultation program.

The bill requires a consultation provider to report to DHS any information it

requests. The bill also requires the organization to conduct interviews and annual

surveys of participating clinicians who use the consultation program and submit

that information to DHS.
