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 âincrease 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.â 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.

This PRA submission reflects actual, rather than anticipated, provider numbers. This new approach shows a a decrease (from 100 to 47) in actual participation, and therefore there is a slight decrease in burden measured hourly and financially.
The previously approved participation agreement and its burden has been removed due to an exemption from the PRA under 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(1). CMS believes the Participation Agreement to be exempt from the PRA. Therefore, we have not assigned burden to the instrument and will be submitting it as a supplementary document.
