    OFFICERS President Arwen E. Podesta, MD, FASAM President-Elect Gregory Caudill, MD, FASAM Immediate Past President John P. Epling, Jr., MD, DABAM, DFASAM Secretary Smita Prasad, MD, MBA, MPH Treasurer Shawn McNeil, MD March 18, 2020 The Honorable Kirk Talbot Chair, Senate Committee on Insurance Louisiana Assembly PO Box 94183 Baton Rouge Re: Support for SB213, Dear Chairman Talbot and members of the Senate Committee on Insurance, On behalf of the Louisiana Society of Addiction Medicine (LSAM), the medical specialty society representing physicians and clinicians in Louisiana who specialize in the prevention and treatment of addiction, we would like to take this opportunity to provide our support for SB213, which would require that medical necessity determinations related to substance use disorder (SUD) be made in accordance with the ASAM Criteria by certain insurance policies. With the addiction and overdose crisis significantly impacting Louisiana, LSAM appreciates the effort to expand access to high-quality, evidence-based, and comprehensive addiction treatment services. LSAM is dedicated to increasing access to and improving the quality of addiction treatment for patients in Louisiana. To that end, we are committed to advocating for a state addiction treatment system that ensures patients with mental health and SUD receive treatment at the right level of care that they need. Every year, millions of Americans enter mental health and addiction treatment, but many are placed into programs that are not appropriate for their needs. Addressing systemic barriers that individuals experience in accessing treatment can help Louisiana decrease costs and improve patient outcomes. We commend this bill for requiring that certain insurance policies utilize the ASAM Criteria when making medical necessity determinations.
