Full Answer
Renew 275-Patient Waivers and File Annual Reports Using This Same Interface Before you begin Before starting this application, please make sure you have Your DEA Number Your State Medical License Number
Physicians who plan to apply for a patient increase to 275 must follow several requirements and standards. Two of these requirements are to practice according to nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines and have a diversion control plan.
Additionally, all patients under your care beyond the 100 patient limit will need to be notified of your reduced patient capacity and directed to alternative resources for treatment. The SAMHSA 275 Annual Report Form details all of the requirements necessary to complete and submit the form.
Physicians in residency training can obtain a DATA waivers if their state allows unrestricted licenses and the resident obtains an individual DEA registration; hospital DEA registrations cannot be used for a DATA Waiver. You cannot use the hospital number with your personal number added to the back.
Who do I notify of this address change and how? Answer: Each DATA Waived Physician (DWP) is responsible for notifying the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and DEA of a change in his/her primary practice address.
A Data 2000 Waiver refers to the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA 2000) "waiver" legislation that authorized the outpatient use of buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. The DATA 2000 Waiver helps improve access to OUD and substance-use disorder (SUD) treatment.
Practitioners at the 30- and 100-level do not need to renew their waivers. Practitioners who are at the 275-patient limit need to renew their patient limit every 3 years and submit a yearly report annually.
Nurse practitioners are newly allowed to prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone) as part of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act signed into law by former President Obama.
Recently, SAMHSA recommends replacing the term “Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)” with “Medications for Opioid use Disorder (MOUD).” The term “MAT” implies that medication plays a secondary role to other approaches while the term “MOUD” reinforces the idea that medication is its own treatment form.
This is the Narcotic Addiction DEA Number, aka NADEANor XDEA#. XDEA. An X-number, or “DATA-waived,” registration allows providers holding the registration to avoid U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registration requirements for narcotic treatment programs such as organized methadone clinics.
A Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) 2000 waiver allows practitioners to prescribe buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid addiction. Under the DATA 2000 requirements, providers must complete specific training in order to qualify for a waiver to prescribe and dispense buprenorphine.
The pharmacological and safety profile of Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in Suboxone, makes it an attractive treatment for patients addicted to opioids as well as for the medical professionals treating them. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu opioid receptor and an antagonist at the kappa receptor.
Practitioners who have had a waiver to treat 30 patients for at least one year may apply to increase their patient limit to 100. After one year at the 100-patient limit, physicians and qualifying other practitioners who meet certain criteria can apply to increase their patient limit to 275.
Yes, nurse practitioners can prescribe medications in all 50 states. This includes the power to prescribe antibiotics, narcotics, and other schedule II drugs such as Adderall. However, whether this task requires physicians supervision depends on the practice authority of each state.
Yes, nurses can take Suboxone. All patients taking Suboxone are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This law states that employers cannot discriminate against or fire people who are taking medications that were prescribed by a doctor, including Suboxone. This applies to nurses as well.
Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants Now Eligible to Prescribe Buprenorphine. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants will now be eligible to prescribe and dispense the opioid addiction treatment buprenorphine from their office, Reuters reports.
The report is normally due before the anniversary of your waiver approval date.
Physicians who plan to apply for a patient increase to 275 must follow several requirements and standards. Two of these requirements are to practice according to nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines and have a diversion control plan. The below resources will help you abide by these two requirements.
For nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), certified nurse certified nurse specialists (CNSs), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNAs), and certified nurse midwives (CNMs) to be eligible to apply for a buprenorphine waiver, they must complete 24 hours of training that covers the following topics: opioid maintenance and detoxification; clinical use of all FDA-approved drugs for medication-assisted treatment; patient assessment; treatment planning; psychosocial services; staff roles; and diversion control. Once a practitioner has taken the required training course and complied with other requirements listed below, they may apply for a waiver to begin treating 30 patients with buprenorphine. C ertain practitioners may immediately begin treating up to 100 patients if they provide medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder in a qualified practice setting. It is important to note that CNSs, CRNAs, and CNMs are able to prescribe buprenorphine to treat OUD until October 1, 2023.
The SAMHSA 275 Annual Report Form details all of the requirements necessary to complete and submit the form. This form may not display if SAMHSA does not determine the enrollee eligible for an increase to 275 patients.
Practitioners who have had a waiver to treat 30 patients for at least one year may apply to increase their patient limit to 100. After one year at the 100-patient limit, physicians and qualifying other practitioners who meet certain criteria can apply to increase their patient limit to 275. Click here to access the application for a higher patient limit. SAMHSA will review applications within 45 days of receipt and will notify the applicant if they have been approved. DO NOT begin prescribing to the higher limit until you are approved.

Licensed physicians who have had a waiver to treat 100 patients for at least 1 year can become eligible for the patient limit of 275 in one of two ways:
7) Notify all patients above the 100-patient limit that they will no longer be able to provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services using buprenorphine in the event that their request for the higher patient limit is not renewed or the renewal request is denied, and will also make every effort to transfer patients to other treatment providers.
Similar to the processing of waiver requests for other patient limits, within 45 days of receiving an initial or renewal Request for Patient Limit Increase, SAMHSA will approve or deny the request. If SAMHSA determines that the practitioner holds additional credentialing or practices in a qualified practice setting—and is able to meet the eight attestations described in “What is the process to request a patient limit of 275?”—the request will be approved. After it is approved, SAMHSA will notify the Drug Enforcement Administration of this approval. The request will be denied if the request is deficient in any respect or if the practitioner has knowingly submitted false statements or made misrepresentations of fact. If the request is denied, SAMHSA will notify the practitioner of the reason (or reasons) for denial. However, if the deficiencies are resolved in a manner and time approved by SAMHSA, the request will be approved.
Practitioners who are using the “additional credentialing” pathway must hold board certification in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry by the American Board of Addiction Medicine or the American Board of Medical Specialties, or certification by the American Board of Addiction Medicine or the American Society of Addiction Medicine.*
Nationally recognized evidence-based guidelines are documents produced by a national or international medical professional association, public health entity, or governmental body with the aim of ensuring the appropriate use of evidence to guide individual diagnostic and therapeutic clinical decisions. Some examples are the American Society of Addiction Medicine National Practice Guidelines for the Use of Medications in the Treatment of Addiction Involving Opioid Use; SAMHSA’s Treatment Improvement Protocol 40: Clinical Guidelines for the Use of Buprenorphine in the Treatment of Opioid Addiction; the World Health Organization Guidelines for the Psychosocially Assisted Pharmacological Treatment of Opioid Dependence; the Department of Veterans Affairs /Department of Defense/ Clinical Practice Guideline on Management of Substance Use Disorder; and the Federation of State Medical Boards’ Model Policy on the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 and Treatment of Opioid Addiction in the Medical Office.
If practitioners do not submit a renewal request or if the renewal request is denied, they must notify all patients above the 100 limit that they will no longer be able to provide MAT services using buprenorphine. They must also make every effort to transfer patients to other MAT providers.
Yes. SAMHSA may suspend or revoke the approval of the patient limit increase if it is determined that any of the following events is in effect or has taken place:

So, SAMHSA requires the waiver that allows providers to prescribe buprenorphine for treating opioid use disorder; SAMHSA allows doctors to prescribe to no more than 275 patients; and then SAMHSA collects no data from doctors on what they are actually doing: how many patients are being treated, whether they are going over the cap [the maximum they can prescribe to], whether they are referring patients for counseling, or testing urine for traces of drug use, or anything else.
On May 23, SAMHSA responded: “The only MAT data we have would be from N-SSATS, and that doesn’t include private practitioners.” (N-SSATS is the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services.)
