Resumen

The Coalition of Medication‐Assisted Treatment Providers and Advocates (COMPA) issues is policy and budget agenda last month. As a coalition of opioid treatment programs (OTPs) and other providers in New York, COMPA's direction forward is always a guide for the rest of the country. COMPA led the way to getting reimbursement for OTPs providing take‐homes (typically, reimbursement is only provided on the day a patient shows up). COMPA also provided crucial insights into how to provide methadone treatment early on in COVID. So the agenda for the coming months is important.
