The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is set to end the federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 on May 11, 2023.
At that time, the special privileges and exemptions extended to out-of-state licensees during the pandemic will be discontinued. Therefore, beginning on May 12, 2023, all health care providers and health facilities operating in Michigan must have the appropriate license(s) and permit(s) required under Michigan and federal law.
Recent federal law changes require those who prescribe controlled substances to take a one-time training on substance use disorder when they obtain or renew their Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration. A Michigan practitioner required to attend a one-time opioid and controlled substances awareness training by the state’s Controlled Substances Rules, may use the 8 hours of training that is accepted by the DEA for their controlled substances registration to also meet the state’s required one-time training on opioids and other controlled substances awareness.
In addition, R 338.3163 that limits prescribing, dispensing, and administering a controlled substance to an individual with a substance use disorder will not be enforced by BPL until the rule is either modified or rescinded. This rule limited the circumstances under which a practitioner could treat an individual with substance use disorder, as well as the number of individuals that could be treated. All other laws and rules, both federal and state, must still be followed.
