Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act

This bill expands access to methadone treatment for opioid use disorder by allowing more healthcare providers to prescribe it for unsupervised use through pharmacies. Specifically, it waives federal restrictions to permit addiction medicine specialists, program employees, and certified physicians to prescribe methadone electronically for 30-day supplies, with patients receiving it directly from pharmacies instead of only through specialized clinics. The bill requires annual reporting to Congress on the number of registered providers, patients served, and participating states. It directly affects patients with opioid use disorder seeking treatment and healthcare providers currently authorized to prescribe methadone.
