This webinar will be hosted by the Central East Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC) on October 17. Mental health and substance use disorder impact all aspects of healthcare outcomes, however equity and parity in payment has failed in our current Evaluation & Management. This system failure has disproportionately impacted African American patients and providers thru: (1) structural racism including historical provider under representation, (2) social determinants of health (homelessness, lack of insurance, etc.), (3) criminal disposition of minority populations in lieu of treatment, and (4) payer and regulator algorithms that ignore all of the above.
