Announcements
- After our August 2018 meeting, it was announced that buprenorphine-naloxone prior authorizations would be eliminated by public health plans via DHS. This should result in improved access to lifesaving care for our patients. Thanks for participating in the discussion at our most recent meeting and keep doing the amazing work you do every day.
