What is required for a prescriber to maintain patients on buprenorphine through office-based programs?

  1. A special certificate

  2. Approval from the DEA

  3. An additional DEA number with 'X'

  4. Patient consent

The correct answer is: An additional DEA number with 'X'

An additional DEA number with 'X' is required for a prescriber to maintain patients on buprenorphine through office-based programs. This is because buprenorphine is a controlled substance and requires an additional DEA number with 'X' for physicians to prescribe and maintain patients on it. The other options, such as a special certificate or approval from the DEA, may be required for other controlled substances, but not specifically for buprenorphine. Patient consent may also be necessary for treatment involving buprenorphine, but it is not the only requirement for maintaining patients on it.
