The study included insured individuals aged ≥18 years diagnosed with OUD who initiated buprenorphine treatment between March 23, 2020, and December 31, 2021. Patients were stratified into telehealth, in-person, and hybrid care (initiating treatment via telehealth and receiving 51–75 % of visits in-person) groups. The primary outcome was buprenorphine discontinuation, defined as a gap of ≥30 days in prescription fills/refills during the 12-month follow-up. Discontinuation was assessed as two separate binary outcomes: (1) early-phase discontinuation, defined as a gap of ≥30 days within the first 3 months of treatment, and (2) late-phase discontinuation, defined as a gap of ≥30 days between months 4 and 12 among those who remained on treatment through the initial 3 months.

During the late treatment phase, patients receiving hybrid care had significantly lower odds of discontinuation compared to those receiving either telehealth or in-person care (OR: 0.73, 95 % CI: 0.62–0.86).
