Payors & Health Plans
Making opioid treatment measurable for health plans.
Methadone treatment has changed little in 30+ years, even as the opioid crisis, regulations, and healthcare costs have evolved. With roughly 70% of methadone patients covered by Medicaid, health plans have a unique opportunity to improve outcomes while reducing costs.
Treatment abandonment fuels costly care
More than 50% of patients drop out within 60 days, increasing avoidable ED visits and inpatient utilization.
Missed quality measures
Limited adherence tracking creates follow-up gaps that impact HEDIS and Star Ratings.
Provider incentives drive billing volume, not treatment quality
Without standardized performance data, plans cannot effectively incentivize higher-quality care or reduce costs tied to ED utilization, NEMT, and avoidable admissions.
Up to half of all NEMT spend is for OTP patients
In-person dosing requirements and variable take-home schedules drive unnecessarily high transportation utilization.
The opioid crisis calls for thoughtful leadership.
We help health plans improve opioid treatment through greater accountability, expanded access, and actionable data—providing greater transparency into dosing, engagement, and outcomes to strengthen performance, align incentives, and ensure treatment investments deliver measurable value within the same performance year.
