Specifically, the GAO shall report on:

  • the prevalence of NAS,
  • NAS treatment services for which coverage is available under state Medicaid programs,
  • the settings and associated reimbursement methodologies for NAS treatment,
  • the prevalence of utilization of various care settings under state Medicaid programs for NAS treatment, and
  • any federal barriers to treating infants with NAS under state Medicaid programs.

The GAO shall also report on its recommendations for improvements that will ensure access to NAS treatment under state Medicaid programs.
