NEW DATA REPORTED FROM AANP

States with right-sized licensure laws enjoy more patient choice and support more effective health care delivery.

 

We’re excited to share the latest project between the AANP’s Research and State Government departments.  We teamed up and looked at the impact of practice environment on MAT waivers.

It won’t come as a surprise to learn that the top dozen states are all FPA or that eleven of the bottom 12 were reduced or restricted licensure states.

 

Check out and share the infographic and full piece out in this  month’s JNP:
