How to Prepare for a DEA Visit

          
If you are providing office-based treatment of opioid dependence, you should know that DATA 2000 requires the Drug Enforcement Agency to inspect physicians' office-based practices. The DEA has spent time in recent months preparing to inspect a greater number of these office-based settings, and several AAAP Board members recently had the opportunity to speak with DEA staff about the purpose of these visits and procedures to be used. Click here for information on those discussions and assistance in preparing for a DEA visit.

Mental Health Parity Law - Is It Working?

The American Psychiatric Association has created a website, www.mentalhealthparitywatch.org, about the 2008 Mental Health Parity Act (The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008). The purpose of the site is to educate consumers and physicians about the Act and to monitor the implementation of this new law. For more information click here.
