Exclusions
Dual eligible Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries are excluded. Rationale: Individuals who are covered under Medicare would receive coverage for follow up treatment medications (e.g. medication assisted treatment) under Medicare Part D and Medicare Part D claims are not captured in Medicaid claims databases. Therefore, follow-up would be missed.
Individuals under 18 are excluded. Rationale: There is limited evidence regarding the efficacy of MOUD for this population.
Individuals over 64 are excluded: Rationale: Most individuals over age 64 are covered under Medicare. Services covered by Medicare would not be capture in the Medicaid claims data and therefore follow-up treatment would be missed.
