The annual board meeting last December of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (AATOD) was more than just a meeting. Eight board members conducted a number of visits to Capitol Hill, educating Congressional representatives and staff. A key focus of these visits was getting reimbursement for Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) from Medicare Part B (which covers nonhospital treatment), said AATOD president Mark Parrino, MPA. “This will be a slow and labor-intensive process, but I believe that at the end, we will be successful,” Mr. Parrino told AT Forum.
