1/When insurers *deny* coverage of buprenorphine for OUD care based on "lack of documented counseling", they ENFORCE a policy that is opposite to national recommendations. #addiction #OUD
2/The @ASAMorg guideline (2020) for opioid use disorder lays out a strong case FOR "psychosocial treatment"
AND it ALSO declares that precluding bupe based on declining counseling puts the patient's life at risk ā€¦tefinitystorage.blob.core.windows.net/sitefinity-proā€¦
3/The reason is obvious. A patient with diagnosed OUD and loss of access to medication is at risk of use of illicitly sourced opioids and death.

Withholding the life-saving medication is a bad idea.

This doesn't mean "counseling is no good", but it's not "requirable"

Ā¹/Ā¹ā° Wellllll it's happening..... as I figured SOMETHING would, because, you know... addiction...

So after being dropped from my latest md whose too afraid to rx, I found a telemed suboxone clinic.
Story short, I explained my dilemma, they said they wld help.
Ā²/Ā¹ā° Well after my first appt I got shuffled over to a more Sr dr who "wanted to take on your case"
Ohhh kayy... whatever right? No.
I have been GASLIT since my second appointment. The issue? That I am not an addict. I am just there 4 med mngmnt, ā›”ļø else.
Ā³/Ā¹ā° I ā›”ļø need any other svc, which they said "was completely fine". That was obviously a lie.
Every appointment has been w/ a growing tension w/ this provider, with each appt him trying 2 get me2 admit 2 #OUD.

The US Supreme Court Oral Argument in Ruan and Kahn: Speed Limits, Grammar Teachers, Vulnerable Patients, and more. #SCOTUS #MedTwitter #Opioids #Pain #OUD

A longšŸ§µšŸ§µšŸ§µ
1/ The issue in these cases is when a medical provider who prescribes controlled medications like opioids for pain or an opioid use disorder (but also meds for seizure disorder, depression, ADHD, etc.) can be held criminally liable for drug distribution.
2/ In simple terms, it comes down to when a doctor is acting as a drug dealer versus as a clinician. But the devil is in the details re: how the relevant statute (Controlled Substances Act) and regulation are interpreted.

A moment of #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday : Iā€™ve been selected as a finalist for this years VGH/BMO Innovatorā€™s Challenge with my team for developing a novel opioid analyzer.

1/
Last year, BC experienced the highest rates of #opioid #overdose fatalities ever recorded in history, with the highest rates of death in Canada. #OUD can be treated with #HarmReduction strategies, therapy, and partnering with patients to meet their goals and priorities.

2/
Medications such as opioid agonist therapy (OAT) can be part of the treatment plan for some or many patients with OUD.

Of the 11,886 deaths associated with "other opioids" in 2019 (more or less prescription), 5,709 of them, or 48%, were also attributed to heroin and/or fentanyl.

It ain't prescription pain medication. #opioidcrisis

w/ wonder.cdc.gov/controller/savā€¦
w/o wonder.cdc.gov/controller/savā€¦
The "opioid crisis" is fixated on #Purdue and #OxyContin... when prescription opioids, on their own (presumably with or without benzos), only account for 12.4% of the 49,860 opioid related deaths in 2019... marvelous work, USA.
Total 2019: wonder.cdc.gov/controller/savā€¦

It's funny synths actually make it not add up... they were 36,359 (wonder.cdc.gov/controller/savā€¦) and heroin was 14,019 (wonder.cdc.gov/controller/savā€¦) plus aforementioned 11,886 = 62,264.

Idk man, #WTFentanyl.

1/ @AmerMedicalAssnā© applauds
decision by ā¦@HHSGovā© to allow physicians to prescribe #buprenorphine without an X-waiver for the treatment of patients with #opioid use disorder. #OUD

However, it is important to keep in mind several considerations: ama-assn.org/press-center/aā€¦
2/ ā€¢Use of #buprenorphine by a person who has #OUD but is not in withdrawal can precipitate withdrawal. This is a significant adverse experience. It also dissuades patients from adherence to treatment.
3/ ā€¢It is unclear whether removal of the X-waiver requirement for #buprenorphine-prescribing will increase access to care in the community. Already, physicians who have an X-waiver do not see the full allowed complement of patients who have #OUD.

Thank you to @BethDarnall for speaking at #Minnesota @MinnesotaDHS #Opioid Work Group mtg on Thursday: Spoke of importance of #patientcenteredcare, #patientconsent necessary if taper & strongly advised AGAINST force tapers & using pre-determined MME'S. #ChronicPain #NoOneSize
MN #opioid Work Group created Taper Guidance. It will be out 4 public comment soon. Some areas extremely problematic. Although it states NOT 2 taper solely 2 meet system or state policy; MN Quality Improvement requires Drs 2 meet MME thresholds = TAPER TO MEET STATE POLICY. šŸ¤”
If #ChronicPain pt wants 2 try 2 taper from #opioid analgesics 4 any reason & CONSENTS, there needs 2 be safe way 2 do it. Problem throughout U.S, incl #Minnesota; is non-consensual tapering. Many experts, incl #addiction specialists, stress dangers & even state it's UNETHICAL.

August 31 is International #Overdose Awareness Day. Every year I reflect on all the people weā€™ve lost, but especially Arielle. Here we are at 18 - careless, happy assholes. She was brilliant, snarky, a talented musician, and she died at age 26 from a poisoned drug supply. Image
In the last 2 years of her life, Arielle went to jail, went to rehab, and ā€œgot clean.ā€

Jail didnā€™t save her.
Rehab didnā€™t save her.
Abstinence didnā€™t save her.

#SCS couldā€™ve saved her. #safesupply couldā€™ve saved her.
#MOUD couldā€™ve saved her.
#Naloxone couldā€™ve saved her.
There is no excuse for her death or for any of the 71,000 overdose deaths in 2019, not when evidence-based treatments for #OUD exist. Not one damn more person should die alone from a treatable condition in the year #2020.

Not sure where to start the discussion on this article. I am very interested in multiple aspects of this paper. First, & this is just related to this paper but the overall current climate of the treatment & care of those with #Chronicpain
#HHS #Chou 1/ nam.edu/best-practicesā€¦
So much energy has gone into research looking to define optimal strategies for opioid tapering where is the energy being given to development of other medications that are as effective as opioids with less risk? I know this paper referenced that many #patients tapered 2/
experienced pain relief & increased functioning yet as an advocate I receive regular calls from inds where pain care has been reduced or cut off entirely w disasterous results. My kids benefit from #opioid #pain meds. I am nor are they opposed to the utilization of other meds 3/

1/The announcement by @CMSGov is important for primary care in a #COVID19 setting. It partly, temporarily, correct a major disparity that financially penalizes telephone-only care, even when that's the only thing the patient can handle. Here's the scoop cms.gov/newsroom/pressā€¦
2/Why it matters. Current rules reward caring for tech-savvy patients with 2-way audio-visual. Most of my formerly homeless patients >50 lack equipment, data plan, or comfort. Now there is payment parity, for SOME services. Which ones? Opioid use disorder treatment, for one! #OUD Image
3/This parity for telephone care does NOT include the most common primary care services (like the standard visit of 99213/4). It ONLY applies to services already shown on list you can (and should) check out here: cms.gov/Medicare/Medicā€¦
