Addiction Policy and the Consolidated Appropriations Act
Tuesday, January 31, 2023 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm ET
The Live Webinar has passed. The captured recording of the live webinar is available in the "contents" tab.
Overview
This 1-hour live webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of provisions included in the the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (the "CAA 2023") that will impact addiction care around the country.
On December 29, 2022, President Joseph R. Biden signed the CAA 2023 into law. Key provisions in the CAA 2023 will help improve Americans’ access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and related support services at a time when overdose deaths are near record highs.
The goal of this webinar is to provide a better understanding of key addiction-related provisions in the CAA 2023, so that physicians and other clinicians will be better in a better position to navigate the rapidly evolving addiction policy landscape in the United States. This means more patients with SUD will have access to addiction medications and patient-centered care.
The webinar will also include a Q&A session to provide participants with an opportunity to ask specific questions regarding the CAA 2023.
While ASAM is waiting for additional federal agency guidance regarding implementation of this landmark legislation, this webinar will review what you need to know about key legislative changes.
Target Audience
Healthcare practitioners that are interested in learning about the addiction-related policies outlined in the CAA 2023.
Topics to be addressed include:
- Elimination of the federal requirement that a healthcare practitioner apply for a separate waiver through the Drug Enforcement Administration to dispense controlled medications in Schedule III, IV and V of the Controlled Substances Act (e.g., buprenorphine) for SUD treatment
- A new federal requirement to ensure controlled medication prescribers have received education on treating and managing patients with opioid or other substance use disorders
- New federal funding for addiction care
- Various Medicare and Medicaid policy reforms
