Buprenorphine and HIV primary care: new opportunities for integrated treatment.
Drug abuse and infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, but, because of medical, social, and legal factors, opiate addiction/dependence is a major obstacle to successful treatment of disease--for example, treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with highly active antiretroviral therapy. In an effort to improve th...

Treatment for substance abuse and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection historically have come from different providers, often in separate locations, and have been reimbursed through separate funding streams. We describe policy and financing challenges faced by health care providers seeking to integrate buprenorphine, a new treatment for opioid dependence, into HIV primary care. Regulato...

متن کاملAre tax subsidies for private medical insurance self-financing? Evidence from a microsimulation model.
This paper develops an empirical strategy to estimate whether subsidies to private medical insurance are self-financing in countries where public and private insurance coexist and the latter covers the same treatments as the former. We construct a simulation routine based on a micro-econometric discrete choice model that allows us to evaluate the impact of premium changes on the utilization of ...
متن کاملBuprenorphine in primary care: risk factors for treatment injection and implications for clinical management.
AIMS Though the introduction of office-based buprenorphine has greatly contributed to stem the HIV epidemic since 1995, concerns have been raised about the intravenous use of buprenorphine even in patients on substitution treatment. The aim of this study was to identify which factors are predictive of buprenorphine injection in patients receiving office-based buprenorphine. DESIGN AND SETTING...
