Summary
Kansas Medicaid is changing the terminology from 'Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)' to 'Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Treatment' for office-based opioid treatment services. Coverage and reimbursement guidelines remain unchanged - this is purely a terminology update.
Action Required
Before October 1, 2025: Billing team should review updated Mental Health, Professional, and Substance Use Disorder Fee-for-Service Provider Manuals (pages referenced in bulletin) to understand any documentation or form changes related to the terminology update. Update internal procedures and forms to use 'OUD Treatment' instead of 'MAT' for Kansas Medicaid patients.
