'Ohana Health Plan connects providers and members to resources associated with opioid use and addiction including Medication Assisted Treatment. Our aim is to assist our providers regarding the use and misuse of opioid medications and various types of pain management tactics.
For Providers
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) www.SAMHSA.gov provides several physician resources targeted at the treatment of OUD, including:
- Opioid Overdose Prevention Toolkit
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
- MAT Training Material and Resources
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) offers OUD prescriber resources and web-based interactive training and webinars, which includes:
- Prescribing Guidelines
- Prescribing Guidelines Resources
- Prescriber Training for Providers
- Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Overview
WellCare hopes our providers recognizes the importance of this opioid program and will consider becoming MAT prescribers. To learn more go to our MAT information page.
