Purpose
The purpose is to inform clinic members (admin, providers, nursing, etc.) on how to successfully integrate a MAT program into an outpatient primary care setting. The mission is to help centers and clinics set up primary care based MAT to improve access for patients suffering from opioid use disorder across the state of Iowa.
Professional Practice Gap
In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has adopted policies to allow DEA-registered practitioners to prescribe controlled substances without having to interact in-person with their patients. The DEA has provided a decision tree which addresses prescribing controlled substances; however, it does not address administering or direct dispensing of controlled substances, including by narcotic treatment programs (OTPs) or hospitals. These policies are effective beginning March 31, 2020, and will remain in effect for the duration of the public health emergency, unless DEA specifies an earlier date.
This decision tree merely summarizes the policies for quick reference and does not provide a complete description of all requirements. Full details are on DEA’s COVID-19 website, and codified in relevant law and regulations.
Learning Objectives
- Provide essential guidelines and steps to implement a successful MAT program into primary care setting.
- Share resources for the treatment of MAT patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
