【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a major and growing public health concern, and Medicare patients have nearly double the proportion of OUD prevalence compared with those with commercial insurance. This study examines provider-level characteristics to delineate the wide variation behind buprenorphine provision, which is the mainstay of medication-assisted treatment for OUD.
