Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover suboxone in Philadelphia?
Yes. Pennsylvania Medicaid (also called Medical Assistance, or MA) covers buprenorphine for OUD. Pennsylvania eliminated prior authorization for buprenorphine as part of its opioid crisis response. Philadelphia patients on PA Medicaid can access buprenorphine through the extensive participating provider network. PA Medicaid managed care plans (Keystone First, Health Partners Plans, UPMC Community HealthChoices) include behavioral health coverage for MAT.
What are the main suboxone programs in Philadelphia?
Jefferson Health has an established addiction medicine program with buprenorphine prescribing across its Philadelphia network. Penn Medicine (University of Pennsylvania Health System) has addiction psychiatry and primary care-based MAT. Temple University Hospital serves North Philadelphia with addiction medicine services. The City of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) funds and operates treatment programs including OBOT sites. COMHAR, Prevention Point Philadelphia, and other community organizations also provide MAT access.
Are there suboxone providers in Kensington or North Philadelphia?
Yes, though access has historically been inadequate relative to need. The City of Philadelphia has prioritized expanding OBOT and harm reduction services in Kensington. Prevention Point Philadelphia operates a syringe services program with MAT linkage in Kensington. Telehealth buprenorphine prescribers can serve patients anywhere in Philadelphia without requiring travel to a clinic — particularly practical for patients without reliable transportation in North Philly and Kensington.
Can I get buprenorphine via telehealth in Philadelphia?
Yes. Pennsylvania allows telehealth buprenorphine prescribing following an appropriate evaluation. Multiple national telehealth MAT providers (Bicycle Health, Ophelia) serve Pennsylvania, and PA-licensed telehealth prescribers serve Philadelphia patients. PA Medicaid covers telehealth MAT visits. Telehealth removes the transportation barrier that prevents many Philadelphia patients from accessing in-person addiction medicine clinics.
