National Governors Association (NGA): Implementing Best Practices Across The Continuum Of Care To Prevent Overdose

National Governors Association (NGA): Implementing Best Practices Across The Continuum Of Care To Prevent Overdose

The NGA released a Roadmap for Governors, which contains recommendations that represent evidence-based and promising actions states and territories can consider as they work to strengthen the Continuum of Care for people at risk for overdose, including those with substance use disorder (SUD). Within the Roadmap are two telehealth recommendations:

1. Leverage telemedicine for SUD treatment and invest in efforts to co-locate MOUD via telehealth in community-based settings, including harm reduction and outreach programs.
2. Leverage the telehealth flexibilities given to states to allow for Medicaid coverage of low-barrier MOUD via telehealth; remove state-level requirements for in-person visits associated with telehealth SUD treatment.
