How this clinic compares in Erie

This is a residential program, meaning you stay on site rather than visiting and going home the same day.

Erie Veterans Affairs Medical Center is one of 19 buprenorphine providers listed in Erie. Its combination of coverage and access is unique among them.

What stands out here

  • It runs a program for veterans. Only 4 of 19 Erie clinics do (21%).
  • It accepts TRICARE or military insurance. Only 5 of 19 Erie clinics do (26%).

What it does not report

  • No record that it accepts Medicaid. 84% of Erie clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.
  • No record that it accepts self-pay. 74% of Erie clinics do, so this is worth confirming rather than assuming.

Worth asking when you call

  • Whether they are taking new patients, which changes faster than the registry updates.
  • How soon a first appointment is available, and what to bring.
