4.15.2026 Pharmacotherapy for Opioid Use Disorder (POD): Buprenorphine Injections Days Supply Days supply is required to calculate the Pharmacotherapy for Opioid Use Disorder (POD) measure. For OUD dispensing events identified using a medication list, the days supply in the pharmacy data is used. If days supply is not available in the pharmacy data then the days supply listed for the corresponding value set is used.
In the MY 2026 Technical Update a new value set was added for buprenorphine injections, resulting in two value sets with two different days supply. What days supply should be used for buprenorphine injections when pharmacy data does not include that information?

For buprenorphine injection dispensing events identified using a medication list, if the days supply is not available in the pharmacy data, count as a 31 days supply.
