Most buprenorphine prescriptions are written by a small number of providers

E-Mail Most prescriptions for the drug buprenorphine, used to treat opioid use disorder, are written by a small number of the health care providers, according to a new RAND Corporation study. Published in the June 1 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study found that half of all patient-months of buprenorphine treatment during 2016 and 2017 were prescribed by just 4.9% of the physicians and other providers who prescribed the drug during the period. These findings have important implications for efforts to increase buprenorphine access, said Dr. Bradley D. Stein, the study s lead author and a senior physician researcher at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. Our study suggests that targeted efforts to encourage more current prescribers to become high-volume prescribers, and encourage existing high-volume subscribers to safely and effectively treat even more patients, may be a potent way to increase buprenorphine treatment capacity.
