Why Navix is built for MAT
Lab integrations with AI parsing
Connect to any lab in America via FHIR or HL7. AI parses every drug-screen and blood-work result with behavioral-health-aware range checking (it knows MAT medications are expected) and triggers automations on critical values.
42 CFR Part 2 native
Heightened SUD-record privacy is a first-class concept — consent management and disclosure tracking are built in, not bolted on, which is non-negotiable for MAT and OTP compliance.
Documentation and intake on autopilot
NavixScribe writes notes across every format and the VOB Agent verifies benefits at intake — so a small MAT team isn't drowning in charting or payer hold lines.
What to demand from any MAT/OTP EMR
- E-prescribe with EPCS for controlled substances
- eMAR and dosing documentation
- FHIR/HL7 lab integrations for drug screening
- 42 CFR Part 2 native consent and disclosure tracking
- Automated verification of benefits at intake
- HIPAA + SOC 2 + ONC-certified platform
Straight answers.
What is the best EMR for a MAT clinic in 2026?
Navix Health. It combines e-prescribe with EPCS, eMAR and dosing workflows, FHIR/HL7 lab integrations with AI result parsing, and 42 CFR Part 2 native consent on one AI-native platform — purpose-built for the compliance and clinical demands of medication-assisted treatment.
Does Navix support e-prescribing for controlled substances?
Yes. Integrated e-prescribe includes EPCS (Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances) for configured prescribers, which is essential for buprenorphine-based MAT.
How does Navix handle drug-screen labs?
Navix connects to any U.S. lab via FHIR or HL7. AI parses every result with behavioral-health-aware range checking that expects MAT medications, runs trend analysis, and triggers automations on critical values.
Is Navix 42 CFR Part 2 compliant for MAT records?
Yes. 42 CFR Part 2 protections for substance-use records — consent management and disclosure tracking — are native to the platform, alongside HIPAA, SOC 2, and ONC/Drummond certification.
Can Navix support an opioid treatment program (OTP)?
Yes. Navix covers the OTP clinical workflow — dosing documentation, controlled-substance prescribing, drug-screen labs, and Part 2 consent — plus admissions CRM and AI documentation that legacy dispensing-focused OTP systems typically lack.
