Summary

Opioid Prescription Verification Act of 2021 This bill modifies overdose prevention activities carried out by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Specifically, HHS must update pharmacist training materials to include information about how to verify the identity of individuals who pick up prescribed medications. In addition, the CDC may give preference, in awarding grants for overdose prevention, to states that maintain a prescription drug monitoring program that mandates the collection of specified information, and require dispensers of certain potentially addictive drugs to verify the identity of individuals who pick up prescribed medications.
