I've read through this a few times and just want to check my understanding. As it stands now, I can prescribe Suboxone to up to 30 patients a year (as an outpatient) without getting a waiver? It I want to go above this I need to apply for the waiver. Is that correct?

You still need a waiver, you just don't have to do the training for it for up to 30 patients.

Waiver Elimination (MAT Act)

Section 1262 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (also known as Omnibus bill), removes the federal requirement for practitioners to submit a Notice of Intent (have a waiver) to prescribe medications, like buprenorphine, for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD).
