What the X? Understanding changes in buprenorphine prescribing regulation.
Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners 2023 August 31
Opioid use disorder remains an epidemic in the United States. Buprenorphine is a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for opioid use disorder that is associated with decreased opioid-related mortality and morbidity. Until recently, providers had to have a specialized wavier, a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) X, to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. The 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law by President Biden, removed X waiver requirements and implements new training requirements for all new and renewing DEA registrants. This brief report outlines the history of buprenorphine prescribing regulation, reviews the recent regulatory changes and their implications for nurse practitioner buprenorphine prescribing, and concludes by considering the importance of promoting buprenorphine access.
