Expert Insights

In 2019, Pennsylvania launched a program called the Opioid Hospital Quality Improvement Program. It offers state funding incentives to hospitals willing to have emergency room doctors incorporate medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine when high-risk patients face the possibility of overdosing after discharge. I wasn’t sure how I felt about a state paying ER doctors to prescribe Suboxone to at-risk patients, but the results are undeniable.

Turns out the monetary incentives were associated with a 50% increase in prescriptions for buprenorphine (sold under the brand name Suboxone) state-wide for patients within 30 days of being discharged from ER’s across Pennsylvania. As a result of this program, the state’s monetary incentive program for Medicaid patients struggling with opioid addiction could actually be a great model for other states to follow if they want to save lives.
