The US Government Accountability Office Issued Report on Medicaid
|
Last week, the United States Government Accountability Office issued a report that looked at state Medicaid programs’ changes to payment rates for substance use disorder services from 2014–2019.
Medicaid is the largest source of federal funding for services that treat substance use disorder. (GAO 2020). The Medicaid: States' Changes to Payment Rates for Substance Use Disorder Services report found that over 80% of all states increased rates for at least one Medicaid service that treats SUD, such as medication or behavioral therapy. About two-thirds of states’ rate increases were targeted specifically to SUD or SUD and other behavioral health services, while the remainder were part of changes to rates for a broader set of Medicaid services.
