KING COUNTY PROVIDERS $500 Honorarium for Providers Who Become Waivered to Prescribe Buprenorphine

We know many of you are busy with all the changes that COVID-19 has brought upon us, but we hope some of you are able to make use of this opportunity while funding is available. In an effort to increase the availability of buprenorphine prescribing in our area, Public Health— Seattle & King County is offering a $500 honorarium to providers who become waivered to prescribe buprenorphine.  This is for providers practicing in King County.

To get started:

1. Register for the honorarium prior to completing a waiver training.
2. Register for any in-person or online waiver training course.

Learn about training requirements, sign up for an online training, or find in-person trainings at: pcssnow.org/medication-assisted-treatment.

We also ask that participants complete a short survey both before and several months after obtaining their waiver.

This offer lasts only as long as funding is available. After receiving your honorarium registration, we will contact you to confirm your place on the list, send the pre-waiver survey, and provide instructions on how to claim your honorarium after you’ve obtained the waiver. Please understand that it may take as long as 2 months to receive the honorarium payment after you have submitted the required paperwork.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for all the work you do to support the health of our community!
