Buprenorphine 52-65 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 119-124 34098203-2 2022 METHODS: Using comprehensive county-level data from California 2010-2018, we modeled quarterly associations between numbers of NP/PA and MD/DO-275 waivers and rates of buprenorphine prescribing, opioid-related deaths, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations among all counties and separately among metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties using Poisson regression models with county and quarter fixed effects and adjusting for time-varying covariates. Buprenorphine 168-181 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 127-132 34098203-3 2022 RESULTS: Each additional NP/PA and MD/DO-275 waiver was associated with a 2.6% (95%CI: 1.1-4.1%) and 5.8% (4.1-7.4%) increase in buprenorphine prescribing among nonmetropolitan counties, respectively. Buprenorphine 129-142 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 25-30 34098203-6 2022 CONCLUSIONS: NP/PA waivers were associated with increased buprenorphine prescribing among nonmetropolitan counties and MD/DO-275 waivers were associated with increased buprenorphine prescribing among both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties. Buprenorphine 58-71 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 13-18 35435071-1 2022 Nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) prescribing can increase access to buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine 88-101 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 20-22 35435071-1 2022 Nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant (PA) prescribing can increase access to buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine 88-101 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 49-51 35435071-2 2022 In this cross-sectional study, we used deidentified claims from approximately 90% of U.S. retail pharmacies (2017-2018) to examine the association of state policies with the odds of receiving buprenorphine treatment from an NP/PA versus a physician, overall and stratified by urban/rural status. Buprenorphine 192-205 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 224-229 35435071-4 2022 Policies associated with greater odds of buprenorphine treatment from an NP/PA included full scope of practice (SOP) for NPs, full SOP for PAs, Medicaid pay parity for NPs (reimbursement at 100% of the fee-for-service physician rate), and Medicaid expansion. Buprenorphine 41-54 natriuretic peptide A Homo sapiens 73-78 35435071-5 2022 Although most findings with respect to policies were similar in urban and rural settings, the association of Medicaid expansion with NP/PA buprenorphine treatment was driven by rural counties.
