Please support the NOPAIN for Veterans Act (H.R. 4509), a critical and bipartisan effort to expand veterans’ access to safer pain management options. Under current VA policy, many non-opioid pain medications are not required to be included in the VA formulary, limiting veterans’ ability to choose alternatives that reduce the risk of addiction. H.R. 4509 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to include FDA-approved non-opioid pain medications and biological products in the VA national formulary and drug standardization list once they become eligible under Medicare rules, ensuring those treatments are available and not substituted.

By supporting this bill, you help protect veterans from over-reliance on opioids and promote safer, evidence-based pain treatment. Your action will help uphold the promise of care veterans deserve.
