S 3638 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Dependent Controlled Substance Transparency Act

This bill requires health plans and insurers to share information about controlled substances prescribed to adult children (who are dependents on the policyholder's plan) with the policyholder upon request. It directly affects parents or guardians enrolled in health plans covering adult dependent children. The key provision mandates disclosure of controlled substance prescriptions, but excludes medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders. The law does not change existing privacy rules for other health information, only creating this specific exception for adult dependents' controlled substance prescriptions.
