Bruce Bassi MD MS Quoted in Politico, on the DEA appears to miss deadline for telehealth guidance

https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-ehealth/2020/01/10/dea-appears-to-miss-deadline-for-telehealth-guidance-784237

“It’s been more than a decade since the Ryan Haight Act, which generally bans virtually prescribing controlled substances, directed DEA to outline a special registration process exempting eligible doctors from the ban; that process would allow them to prescribe medication for substance use disorder treatment to patients they haven’t met in person. In 2018 Congress stepped in again, mandating in a bipartisan opioid package that DEA hand it over by the end of October.

DEA missed that deadline but promised to have the guidance to OMB in December. The agency seems to have missed that self-imposed deadline, too: The rule does not appear to be under OMB’s regulatory review, and a DEA spokesperson would not clarify the status for POLITICO despite multiple requests.

… It’s yet another setback for doctors like Bruce Bassi, who works for virtual practice TelepsychHealth. He gets frequent requests from recovery facilities and patients in remote areas asking if he can treat them for substance use virtually. “But my response is always, ‘no maybe soon.’ It’s pretty disappointing.”

Many patients are looking for buprenorphine, a treatment for opioid use disorder. “They’re so desperate at this point,” Bassi said. “I think there should be a sense of urgency” at DEA, he added.”
