Abstract: To collect the information required by statute, the evaluation of the demonstration will include a survey (at 3,689 total hours per round) of MAT prescribers and focus groups (at 105 total hours per round) with Medicaid SUD treatment or recovery providers. The information collected from the provider surveys and focus groups will be used by the evaluation team, CMS, and its federal partners to inform the mandated Final Report to Congress regarding the SUPPORT Act section 1003 demonstration. All data will be reported at the aggregate level. The information collected from the provider surveys will be used to understand how MAT prescribing has changed during the demonstration, identify challenges to prescribing, and compare the incremental effect of the post-planning period, relative to those states who participated only in the planning period, on increased capacity for SUD treatment or recovery service delivery. The focus groups will provide strategic information on the impact of key aspects of implementation, such as perceived challenges associated with Medicaid enrollment or MAT delivery, access to referral placements, the value of state-provided technical assistance, and benefits and unanticipated outcomes experienced by providers during the demonstration. The data collected will allow for an understanding of challenges and facilitators to state demonstration implementation plans, as well as unintended consequences, both positive and negative, with respect to service delivery and demonstration outcomes.
