Regulatory Efforts
TA Request SAMHSA CSAT Division of Pharmacotherapies “Rule Review” product Stakeholder Meeting
State and Federal Regulatory entities – DEA, AG, Pharmacy & Medical Boards
OTPs Non-OTP MHAS Certified Treatment Providers ADAMHS Boards Medicaid
Regulatory Efforts
Day Rate for buprenorphine? Similar concept that exists for methadone Current policy prohibits MHAS programs from
billing for maintenance doses Medicaid is willing to consider approach
Centralized Database/HIE
Regulatory Efforts
As we begin this process…
We have a set of rules of codes that are outdated , do not regulate OTPs evenly
and do not account for the advances in MAT to treat opioid dependence
Current State
At the end of the day, we want…
More modernized set of rules and statutes to govern MAT in the public MHAS system that increases patient access to quality services while maintaining safeguards that prevent diversion
Future State
Not location, location, location… Diversion, diversion, diversion Legitimate concern Harder sell with CJ and LE Good providers are having to adjust their
practice to account for all of the changes that were implemented to remove bad actors
Themes (not Memes)
Large group practices of DATA 2000 physicians How will they be regulated? Are they operating in the spirit of DATA 2000? “Suboxone Hubs” Cash only, multiple physicians
Themes (not Memes)
Managed Care Not carve out, carve in What does the BH system need to make this
happen?
Continuum of CareWhat does the BH system need to make this happen?
On the horizon…
