​The ASAM Fundamentals of Addiction Medicine 40-Hour Program is an innovative educational program empowering primary care and other providers to identify, treat, and/or refer patients at risk for or with addiction. The curriculum is designed for healthcare professionals who received little addiction education during their medical training.​

Nearly 20.5 million Americans suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD), yet only 1 in 10 people with a substance use disorder (SUD) receive treatment. This treatment gap leaves millions without the proper treatment, expanding the addiction medicine workforce is vital. During this webinar, we will discuss how physicians can become board-certified in Addiction Medicine under the new medical subspecialty.

This free CME webinar series is designed to prepare physicians and their billing staff for the basics of modern healthcare payment models and methods of incorporating these models into addiction treatment practice. Presented by a healthcare reimbursement expert, viewers will learn the language used by health payers to improve understanding of billing and coding techniques. Some tips about determining patient coverage for services, handling prior authorization requests, and submitting claims to payers will be included. The first in the series created to examine some of the basic and advanced issues that many may face when working with insurance companies and other health payers. The second webinar will be held on March 7th, and the third session will be a panel discussion held at the Annual Conference with ASAM members employed by health insurers.
