Summary
Oregon's Medicaid program is removing the September 30, 2025 end date for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) coverage for opioid use disorder, making this coverage permanent. This ensures continued billing and reimbursement for MAT services beyond the previous expiration date.
Action Required
By July 11, 2025: Review current MAT billing procedures for Oregon Medicaid patients to ensure compliance with permanent coverage requirements. No immediate changes needed as this extends existing coverage rather than changing billing procedures, but billing teams should be aware that MAT services for opioid use disorder will continue to be covered under Oregon Medicaid without interruption after September 30, 2025.
