Value in Opioid Use Disorder Treatment
(Value in Treatment) is a 4-year demonstration program authorized
under section 1866F of the Social Security Act (Act), which was
added by section 6042 of the SUPPORT Act. The purpose of Value in
Treatment is to “increase access of applicable beneficiaries to
opioid use disorder treatment services, improve physical and mental
health outcomes for such beneficiaries, and to the extent possible,
reduce Medicare program expenditures.” As required by statute,
Value in Treatment will be implemented no later than January 1,
2021. All Value in Treatment participants are required to cooperate
with efforts to conduct the independent evaluation of the
demonstration program. This may include but not limited to
participation in surveys, interviews, site visits, focus groups,
and other activities that CMS determines necessary to conduct a
comprehensive evaluation. CMS anticipates all data collected from
participants will be reported at an aggregate-level data so as to
avoid the disclosure of private and sensitive data of specific
participants. The evaluation will assess the extent that the
demonstration program: a) Reduced hospitalizations and emergency
department visits; b) Increased use of medication-assisted
treatment for opioid use disorders; c) Improved health outcomes of
individuals with OUD, including reducing the incidence of Hepatitis
C and HIV; d) Did not increase the total spending on items and
services; e) Reduced deaths from opioid overdose; and f) Reduced
the utilization of inpatient residential treatment.
