Implications of the new Support Act on Opioid Treatment in your Practice

ABOUT THE WEBINAR: 
On October 24, 2018, President Trump signed into law the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (SUPPORT Act). The SUPPORT Act addresses numerous aspects of the opioid crisis, including prevention, treatment and recovery. The SUPPORT Act includes significant changes to the prescription-writing authority of a number of different types of mid-level providers. This webinar will review those provisions of the SUPPORT Act, as well as discuss next steps for physician practice managers to comply the new fraud and abuse requirements in this federal law.
