by Thunderwolf Jul 27, '08this site has an excellent chart which breaks down nicely which states offer medicaid for opiate addiction treatment. the chart further breaks it down for what treatment drug in what particular treatment setting a state extends medicaid for patient assistance.
the chart may be found here: http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/...atmedicaid.htm
also, under this chart, the site further breaks it down even more with explanations for each state.
example:
california
13 medi-cal provides ffs payment for methadone and detox. drug medi-cal provides payment at a bundled rate
14 medication only covered; treatment authorization request (tar) required
15 physicians in ntps with waivers may request reimbursement through medi-cal (dhcs); tar required
16 note: although naltrexone is formally "covered", funding has been frozen since 1999 and no payment is available
17 covered by medi-cal through dhcs; tar required

Jul 28, '08 by intheskyArizona medicaid covers all those meds. I wonder why my unit doesn't discharge patients with any of them. -

wolfie - i don't know if i was reading the table right or not, but it didn't make me feel much better about my home state. i live in louisiana, and it was a "big no" all across the board. pitiful!
