Medication Access & Training Expansion (MATE) Act
The MATE Act standardizes substance use disorder training to ensure that all prescribers of addictive medications possess baseline knowledge in evidence-based addiction prevention and treatments. This ensures that all DEA-controlled medication prescribers have a baseline knowledge of how to prevent addiction and how to identify, treat, and manage patients who have substance use disorders.
Specifically, the MATE Act requires all prescribers of federally controlled substances to complete eight (8) hours of training on treating and managing patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and substance use disorder (SUD). This requirement begins on the date of your next scheduled DEA registration submission – regardless of whether it is an initial registration or a renewal registration – on or after June 27, 2023.
For questions or more information, contact Will Schmeeckle, Project Coordinator at NMA at wills@nebmed.org.
The NMA’s continuing education entity, NMET, is accredited to provide the training that will meet the MATE Act requirements.
