Today the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the first annual Substance
Use Disorder (SUD) Data Book pursuant to Substance Use Disorder Prevention
that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and
Communities Act (P.L. 115-271). This is a publicly available compendium of
the number of Medicaid beneficiaries with a SUD and the services they
received compiled using Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System
(T-MSIS). This report contains data on SUD diagnosis, enrollment type, and
treatment service utilization with national and state level summaries. This
information is useful to states and also other entities interested in SUD
data. By cataloging the prevalence of SUD in the Medicaid beneficiary
population and services provided for the treatment of SUD under Medicaid,
the SUD Data Book was developed to address the pressing need for substance
use disorder (SUD) treatment and prevention services, with a focus on
opioid use. It provides data in tabular form for calendar year 2017, which
is the most recent complete year of T-MSIS enrollment and claims data
available at the time the analysis was conducted. An online tool will be
available on Medicaid.gov soon as well.
