What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Gynecologic Pain Management Study Act," directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to perform a comprehensive study. The goal of the study is to assess the barriers that prevent healthcare providers from offering and patients from accessing pain management methods during gynecologic procedures. This assessment may look into issues such as insurance coverage, training, or resource availability. The study is required to include a review of current literature and potentially new research. Finally, a report containing findings and recommendations must be submitted to specific House and Senate committees within 24 months.
