Section 1115 Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Demonstration:
Guide for Developing Implementation Plan Protocols
Overview: This template is meant to assist states that are developing an implementation plan for applications for a new section 1115 substance use disorder (SUD) demonstration project pursuant to the State Medicaid Directors’ letter #17-003 issued on November 1, 2017, “Strategies to Address the Opioid Epidemic”. States have the option of submitting their implementation plan as part of their application or as a post-approval protocol. If a state chooses to use a post-approval protocol, the timeframe for submitting the protocol will be specified in the Special Terms and Conditions (STCs) agreement between CMS and the state. Submission of the information provided in this template or the attachments does not guarantee approval of a state’s demonstration request. CMS will work with states to identify any additional information necessary to consider approval of implementation plans and demonstration requests.
This template was designed to help states ensure demonstration implementation plans meet the goals and milestones established by CMS aimed at improving quality, accessibility, and outcomes of SUD treatment services in the most cost-effective manner. In addition, this template is intended to help states describe plans for improving the state’s SUD Health Information Technology (IT) infrastructure to enhance the state’s prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). This template was also developed to facilitate an efficient review process. States should add narrative responses to the information requested in the sections below that are applicable to their specific plans for improving treatment, and complete the input boxes provided. We will continue to improve this guide based on input from states. The state’s SUD Health IT Plan should be recorded in Attachment A.
The STCs developed for these demonstrations generally require states to submit an implementation plan within 90 calendar days after approval of the OUD/SUD demonstration. The state may not claim FFP for services provided in Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMDs), including residential treatment facilities, until CMS has approved a state’s implementation plan.
As the state is developing its implementation plan, the state may access strategic design support through the Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP). If your state is interested in receiving strategic design support through the Medicaid IAP related to implementation plan development, please contact [email protected].
Please submit completed implementation plans electronically to your CMS section 1115 Project Officer.
CMS’ New Opioid and Other SUDs 1115 Demonstration Initiative:
Goals and Milestones to be Addressed in State Implementation Plan Protocols
CMS is committed to working with states to provide a full continuum of care for people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and other SUDs and in supporting state-proposed solutions for expanding access and improving outcomes in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Goals:
Increased rates of identification, initiation and engagement in treatment for OUD and other SUDs;
Increased adherence to and retention in treatment for OUD and other SUDs;
Reductions in overdose deaths, particularly those due to opioids;
Reduced utilization of emergency departments and inpatient hospital settings for OUD and other SUD treatment where the utilization is preventable or medically inappropriate through improved access to other continuum of care services;
Fewer readmissions to the same or higher level of care where readmissions is preventable or medically inappropriate for OUD and other SUD; and
Improved access to care for physical health conditions among beneficiaries with OUD or other SUDs.
Milestones:
Access to critical levels of care for OUD and other SUDs;
Widespread use of evidence-based, SUD-specific patient placement criteria;
Use of nationally recognized, evidence-based, SUD program standards to set residential treatment provider qualifications;
Sufficient provider capacity at each level of care, including MAT;
Implementation of comprehensive treatment and prevention strategies to address opioid abuse and OUD; and
Improved care coordination and transitions between levels of care.
Section I – Milestone Completion
This section should contain information detailing state strategies for meeting the six milestones over the course of the demonstration. Specifically, this section should:
Include a summary of how the state already meet each milestone and any actions needed to be completed by the state to meet each milestone including the persons or entities responsible for completing actions;
Describe the timelines and activities the state will undertake to achieve the milestones; and
Provide an overview of future plans to improve beneficiary access to SUD services and promote quality and safety standards.
Milestones
Access to Critical Levels of Care for OUD and Other SUDs
To improve access to OUD and SUD treatment services for Medicaid beneficiaries, it is important to offer a range of services at varying levels of intensity across a continuum of care since the type of treatment or level of care needed may be more or less effective depending on the individual beneficiary. To meet this milestone, state Medicaid programs must provide coverage of the following services:
Outpatient Services;
Intensive Outpatient Services;
Medication assisted treatment (medications as well as counseling and other services with sufficient provider capacity to meet needs of Medicaid beneficiaries in the state);
Intensive levels of care in residential and inpatient settings; and
Medically supervised withdrawal management
Below is a table that can be included in a state’s implementation plan to describe plans to improve access to SUD treatment services for Medicaid beneficiaries including a variety of services at different levels of intensity across a continuum of care. Suggestions regarding information to include are provided in the table below.

Attachment A – Template for SUD Health Information Technology (IT) Plan
Section I.
As a component of Milestone 5, Implementation of Strategies to Increase Utilization and Improve Functionality of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMP), in the SMD #17-003, states with approved Section 1115 SUD demonstrations are generally required to submit an SUD Health IT Plan as described in the STCs for these demonstrations within 90 days of demonstration approval.
The SUD Health IT Plan will be a section within the state’s SUD Implementation Plan Protocol and, as such, the state may not claim FFP for services provided in IMDs until this Plan has been approved by CMS.
In completing this plan, the following resources are available to the state:
Health IT.Gov in “Section 4: Opioid Epidemic and Health IT.”1
CMS 1115 Health IT resources available on “Medicaid Program Alignment with State Systems to Advance HIT, HIE and Interoperability” and, specifically, the “1115 Health IT Toolkit” for health IT considerations in conducting an assessment and developing their Health IT Plans.2
As the state develops its SUD Health IT Plan, it may also request technical assistance to conduct an assessment and develop its plan to ensure it has the specific health IT infrastructure with regards to the state’s PDMP plan and, more generally, to meet the goals of the demonstration. Contacts for technical assistance can be found in the guidance documents.
In the event that the state believes it has already made sufficient progress with regards to the health IT programmatic goals described in the STCs (i.e. PDMP functionalities, PDMP query capabilities, supporting prescribing clinicians with using and checking the PDMPs, and master patient index and identity management), it must provide an assurance to that effect via the assessment and plan below (see Table 1, “Current State”).
SUD Demonstration Milestone 5.0, Specification 3: Implementation of Strategies to Increase Utilization and Improve Functionality of PDMP
The specific milestones to be achieved by developing and implementing an SUD Health IT Plan include:
Enhancing the health IT functionality to support PDMP interoperability; and
Enhancing and/or supporting clinicians in their usage of the state’s PDMP.
The state should provide CMS with an analysis of the current status of its health IT infrastructure/”ecosystem” to assess its readiness to support PDMP interoperability. Once completed, the analysis will serve as the basis for the health IT functionalities to be addressed over the course of the demonstration—or the assurance described above.
The SUD Health IT Plan should detail the current and planned future state for each functionality/capability/support—and specific actions and a timeline to be completed over the course of the demonstration—to address needed enhancements. In addition to completing the summary table below, the state may provide additional information for each Health IT/PDMP milestone criteria to further describe its plan.
