EmR1913 Rule Text

Michigan:

Michigan does not appear to have an administrative rule addressing whether entitites that provide treatment-related narcotic services can also provide medical services not directly related to narcotic treatment.

Minnesota:

Section 245G.08 within Chapter 245G (Chemical Dependency Licensed Treatment Facilities) of Minnesota's statutes addresses medical services. Subdivision 3, Standing order protocol, states that a health care services license holder that maintains a supply of naloxone available for emergency treatment of opioid overdose must have a written standing order protocol by a physical licensed under chapter 147 of the state statutes, that permits license holder to maintain a supply of naloxone on site. Subdivision 4, Consultation servcies, states that a license holder must have access to and document the availability of a licensed mental health professional to provide diagnostic assessment and treatment planning assistance. Under Subdivision 5, a license holder must meet the requirements in this subdivision if a service provided includes the administration of medication.

245G.08, Subd (3), (4), and (5), 2018 Minnesota Statutes

Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies

The proposed revision is intended to permit a wider array of medical providers to become certified as Opiate Treatment Programs (OTPs). There is currently a significant need for OTPs in the northern and western regions of the State. A map of the current OTPs and additional information is available at https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/opioids/find-treatment.htm.

Analysis and supporting documents used to determine effect on small business

Effect on small business

The proposed rule is anticipated to have no economic impact in terms of costs imposed on narcotic treatment and other substance use disorder service providers. This rule is expected to create business opportunities for additional treatment providers.
