The MAT Act has been introduced in the 117th congress and would eliminate the burdensome x waiver which requires that a health care practitioner apply for a separate waiver through the DEA to dispense certain narcotic drugs (e.g., buprenorphine) for substance use disorder treatment. The MAT Act would increase treatment access for patients to medication assisted treatment and make it easier for clinicians to provide substance use disorder treatment to their patients.
