  ABSTRACT:  Objectives: This study examined the impact of federal regulatory changes on methadone and buprenorphine treatment during COVID in Arizona.Methods: A cohort study of methadone and buprenorphine providers from September 14, 2021-April 15, 2022 measured the proportion of six treatment accommodations implemented at three time periods: before COVID, during Arizona’s COVID shut down, and at the time of the survey completion. Accommodations included: 1) telehealth; 2) telehealth buprenorphine induction; 3) increased multiday dosing; 4) license reciprocity; 5) home medications delivery; and 6) off-site dispensing. A multilevel model assessed the association of treatment setting, rurality, and treatment with accommodation implementation time.Results: Over half (62.2%) of the 74-provider sample practiced in healthcare settings not primarily focused on addiction treatment, 19% practiced in methadone clinics, and 19% in treatment clinics not offering methadone. Almost half (43%) were unaware of the regulatory changes allowing treatment accommodations. Telehealth was most frequently reported; increasing from 30% pre-COVID to 80% at time of survey. Multiday dosing was the only accommodation substantially retracted after COVID shutdown: from 41% to 23% at the time of survey. Providers with higher patient limits were 2.5-3.2 times as likely to implement telehealth services, 4.4 times as likely to implement buprenorphine induction via telehealth, and 15.2-20.9 times as likely to implement license reciprocity as providers with lower patient limits. Providers of methadone implemented 12% more accommodations and maintained a higher average proportion of implemented accommodations during the COVID shutdown period, but were more likely to reduce the proportion of implemented accommodations (a 17-percentage point gap by time of survey).Conclusions: Federal regulatory changes are not sufficient to produce a substantive or sustained impact on provider accommodations, especially in methadone treatment settings. Practice change interventions specific to treatment setting should be implemented and studied.

  Survey studies of clinicians often face the challenge of reaching sufficient or representative response rates to adequately understand  practice realities. We briefly report our experience recruiting a representative sample of providers of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) to study implementation of federally allowed regulatory flexibilities for methadone and buprenorphine access during COVID in a southwestern U.S. state (Arizona). After multiple and varied recruitment approaches using a modified Dillman method, the response rate was 5.5% which was significantly lower than reported rates ranging from 43-48%. We report these results to engage survey and practice based researchers to help problem solve for the critical task of identifying how to appeal to clinicians who are important MOUD entry points to this lifesaving, but difficult-to-access treatment for opioid use disorder.

  IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to characterize hepatitis C virus screening and treatment access experiences among people in treatment for opioid use disorder in Arizona during COVID-19.MethodsArizonans receiving treatment for opioid use disorder from methadone clinics and buprenorphine providers during COVID-19 were interviewed about hepatitis C virus testing, curative treatment, and knowledge about screening recommendations. Interviews were conducted with 121 people from August 4, 2021 to October 10, 2021. Qualitative data were coded using the categories of hepatitis C virus testing, knowledge of screening recommendations, diagnosis, and experiences seeking curative treatment. Data were also quantitated for bivariate testing with outcome variables of last hepatitis C virus test, diagnosis, and curative treatment process. Findings were arrayed along an adapted hepatitis C virus cascade framework to inform program and policy improvements.ResultsJust over half of the sample reported ever having tested for hepatitis C virus (51.2%, n=62) and of this group, 58.1% were tested in the past 12 months. Among those who were ever tested, 54.8% reported a hepatitis C virus diagnosis and 16.1% reported either being in treatment or having been declared cured of the hepatitis C virus. Among those who were diagnosed with hepatitis C, 14.7% indicated that they unsuccessfully tried to access curative treatment and would not attempt to again. Reasons cited for not accessing or receiving curative treatment included beliefs about treatment safety, barriers created by access requirements, natural resolution of the infection, and issues with healthcare coverage and authorization.ConclusionsStructural barriers continue to prevent curative hepatitis C virus treatment access. Given that methadone and buprenorphine treatment providers serve patients who are largely undiagnosed or treated for hepatitis C virus, opportunities exist for them to screen their patients regularly and provide support for and/or navigation to hepatitis C virus curative treatment.
