The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) has released a white paper titled “Modernizing Public Health to Meet the Needs of People Who Use Drugs: Affordable Care Act Opportunities.” The paper was a collaboration with the O’Neill Institute for National & Global Health Law and assesses new financing and delivery models for drug user health services. The project focused on coverage and finance opportunities for community-based drug user health and harm reductions services typically not covered by insurance. Research focused on eight states, assessing how health departments, community-based organizations, Medicaid programs, health plans, and hospitals are working together to better address the needs of people who use drugs.
