JENKINS: URGES LEADERSHIP TO INCLUDE CRIB ACT IN OPIOID CRISIS RESPONSE ACT | 2018-09-25 | 2018 | 2018-09 | Republican | House | WV | Evan Jenkins | J000297 | evanjenkins.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON U.S. Representative Evan Jenkins (R-W.Va.) and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) have asked House and Senate leadership to support Sec. 2201 of the Senate-passed Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018 and ensure its included in the final legislative package currently being negotiated. Sec. 2201 is based on Rep. Jenkins legislation the Caring Recovery for Infants and Babies (CRIB) Act. This provision would recognize residential pediatric recovery facilities as providers under Medicaid and allow certain health care services provided to infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in those facilities to be covered by Medicaid. Additionally, the provision clarifies that infants who receive services from these facilities can continue to do so after they reach one year of age and authorizes residential pediatric recovery centers to offer counseling or referrals for services, activities to encourage caregiver-infant bonding, and training on caring for infants to family members or other caregivers. As we seek to address the needs of those suffering from the opioid crisis, it is crucial that we take action to protect this epidemic's most vulnerable victims. We believe that allowing residential pediatric recovery facilities to be eligible for reimbursement under Medicaid for the services they provide to infants with NAS through Sec. 2201 will allow more babies and their families to attain the care they need, and we urge you to ensure its inclusion in the final legislative package currently under negotiations, Rep. Jenkins and Sen. Brown wrote in the letter. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
