MATE Act

Requirements for training for Medication Assistant Treatment as part of the MATE Act

On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 enacted a new one-time, eight-hour training requirement for all DEA registered practitioners on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. After June 27, 2023, practitioners will be required to check a box on their online DEA registration form (for both initial registration application and renewing registration) affirming that they have completed the new training requirement.

For our Utah practitioners, if you have completed the DOPL Controlled Substances (3.5+ hours) training at least 2 times previously, then you have already met this requirement. If you have attended any UU internal CME events in the past, such as Grand Rounds or Tumor Boards (TPC) where management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders have been discussed for a total of 8 hours of credits, then you have already met this requirement.

If you feel that you have not met this requirement, or if you would like additional training, you can complete the University of Utah online Opioid Education for Utah Licensed Practitioners (which has a maximum of 8 hours of credit available) and the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) modules, which will meet the new requirements here: https://substanceei.com/

Remember, mandatory SBIRT training is required once before January 1, 2024 for controlled substance prescribers per Utah DOPL regulations. So if you have completed the previous opioid training, you will still need this before your next license renewal for the cycle of 2023-2024.

If you are interested, more information on these new requirements can be found from the DOJ and DEA here: MATE_Training_Letter_Final.pdf (usdoj.gov)
