Summary

Co-Prescribing to Reduce Overdoses Act of 2015 This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a grant program to support prescribing opioid overdose reversal drugs, such as naloxone, for patients at an elevated risk of overdose, including patients prescribed an opioid. (Opioids are drugs with effects similar to opium, such as heroin and certain pain medications.) Grant recipients may use the funds to purchase opioid overdose reversal drugs, establish a program for prescribing such drugs, train health care providers and pharmacists on prescription of such drugs, track patients and outcomes, and for other specified activities. HHS must award grants to certain community groups and state and municipal health departments to develop guidelines on prescribing opioid overdose reversal drugs.
