Rural Health Clinics can apply to HRSA for a $3,000 payment for each provider who received the waiver necessary to prescribe buprenorphine after January 1, 2019.

Approximately $1.2 million in program funding remains available for RHCs. Payments will be paid on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.

Detailed information is available online in the DATA 2000 Waiver Training Payment Program FAQ. Contact DATA2000WaiverPayments@hrsa.gov with questions.

There is ongoing availability of a free online course for waiver eligibility training from the Providers Clinical Support System.
