New Actions to Address Avian Flu. Last week, the federal government took additional actions to address H5N1 ("avian flu") with urgency through a whole-of-government approach. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) aims to increase testing, genomic sequencing, and other interventions to protect the health and livelihoods of farmworkers and the safety of dairy and other potentially impacted food items. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra also recently encouraged individuals who work with animals and are concerned about H5N1 to contact a health center: English | Spanish.

Last chance to enroll for Program on Improving Antibiotic Use in Telemedicine.  The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is entering the final weeks of enrollment for primary care practices and retail clinics that use telemedicine for a no-cost, national program to strengthen antibiotic prescribing practices. The program will begin in June and provide expert coaching to promote sustainable improvements and improve patient satisfaction through actionable, evidence-based guidance. Participants may receive continuing education credits, continuing medical education credits and American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification points through live and/or self-paced materials. Visit the program website to join or sign up for a 30-minute informational webinar on Tuesday, May 21 at 12:00 pm Eastern.

Ongoing: Requirements for Buprenorphine PrescribingAs announced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in January 2023, clinicians no longer need a federal waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for treatment of opioid use disorder.  Clinicians are still required to register with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to prescribe controlled medications.  On June 27, 2023, the DEA began to require that registration applicants – both new and renewing – affirm they have completed a new, one-time, eight-hour training.  Exceptions for the new training requirement are practitioners who are board certified in addiction medicine or addiction psychiatry, and those who graduated from a medical, dental, physician assistant, or advanced practice nursing school in the U.S. within five years of June 27, 2023.  Watch this 11-minute video that explains the changes.  Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) still have the opportunity to apply for a $3,000 payment on behalf of each provider who trained between January 1, 2019 and December 29, 2022 (when Congress eliminated the waiver requirement).  Approximately $889,000 in program funding remains available for RHCs and will be paid on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.  Send questions to DATA2000WaiverPayments@hrsa.gov.

CMS Extends Medicaid Unwinding Flexibilities Until 2025. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced last week that they are extending several flexibilities to help states continue conducting Medicaid renewals and prevent inappropriate disenrollments during the 'unwinding' of the Medicaid continuous enrollment condition.  Specifically, CMS is extending through June 30, 2025:  1) unwinding-related waivers to ensure eligible individuals retain coverage; 2) temporary changes to eligibility verification policies and procedures; and 3) the ability to delay procedural disenrollments if the state continues to meet certain conditions. CMS will continue to monitor states' activities to ensure that eligible individuals have access to the coverage to which they are entitled. Any questions or requests for technical assistance can be directed to the CMS unwinding mailbox CMSUnwindingSupport@cms.hhs.gov.

State Strategies to Improve Behavioral Health for Those Experiencing Homelessness.  The Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) issued an Informational Bulletin to highlight available Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) opportunities to improve access to mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) services for individuals experiencing homelessness.  It discusses Medicaid demonstrations, the Health Related Social Needs (HRSN) Guidance and HRSN Framework to provide clinically appropriate services such as housing transition services and case management, and demonstration projects to improve access to the full continuum of care for SUD treatment, including in short-term residential treatment and inpatient settings. It also provides a list of resources for improving access to MH and SUD treatment and to support for people with these conditions who are experiencing or at risk for homelessness. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, about 18 percent of people experiencing homelessness live in largely rural Continuums of Care, which are local planning bodies responsible for coordinating the full range of homelessness services in a geographic area.

CMS Announces Increasing Organ Transplant Access Model – Comment by July 16.

In the proposed model, participating transplant hospitals would be measured by increases in the number of transplants, increased organ acceptance rates, and post-transplant outcomes. Out of the 257 transplant hospitals in the country, an estimated 90 would be required to participate in the proposed six-year model beginning January 1, 2025. Comments on the proposed rule are due by July 16.
