Negotiations are underway on final legislation to help address the opioid epidemic after the House and Senate passed separate packages. The House and Senate bills would take important steps to improve access to substance use treatment, but fall short of a comprehensive transformation of the substance use treatment system. Even so, both the House and Senate bills include provisions that would take small steps toward improving Medicaid beneficiaries’ access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. However, the costliest provision passed by the House goes in the opposite direction. It would allow federal Medicaid reimbursement for institutional care, which could undermine current state and federal efforts to ensure that people with SUDs have access to the full continuum of SUD treatment. Policymakers should exclude this provision from the final package.
