Medicaid is the largest payer for OUD treatment, yet we know little about the treatment benefits Medicaid members report, how these vary across members, or changed with the COVID-19 pandemic.Objective: To examine Medicaid members' report of outpatient treatment benefits, employment, and housing outcomes before and during the pandemic.Methods: A representative sample of 1,032 Virginia Medicaid members (52% women) receiving OUD treatment completed a survey of treatment benefits, health status and social needs. A reported treatment benefit index was created based on seven self-reported items. Multivariable linear regression models, pooled and stratified by time (pre-COVID-19/COVID-19), assessed member characteristics associated with reported treatment benefit, employment and housing outcomes.Results: Members reported strong treatment benefit (mean: 21.8 [SD: 5.9] out of 28 points) and improvements in employment (2.4 [1.3] out of 5) and housing (2.8 [1.2] out of 5). After adjustment, mental distress (regression coefficient: -3.00 [95% CI:-3.97;-2.03]), polysubstance use (-1.25 [-1.99;-0.51]), and food insecurity (-1.00 [-1.71;-0.29]), were associated with decreased benefits from treatment. During COVID-19, justice-involved individuals reported decreased benefits (-2.17 [-3.54; -0.80]) compared to before the pandemic (-0.09 [-1.4-;1.24] p < .05).Conclusions: Medicaid members receiving outpatient OUD treatment reported positive treatment benefits, and housing and employment outcomes. However, those with comorbid health and social conditions often benefited the least. As payers move toward quality improvement and value-based purchasing initiatives, collecting and integrating patient reported outcomes into quality metrics is critical.","PeriodicalId":501667,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse","volume":"22 8","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140963383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
