Summary
Kansas Medicaid is changing terminology from 'Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)' to 'Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Treatment' effective October 1, 2025. This is a name change only - coverage and benefits remain the same as OUD Treatment continues as a mandatory Medicaid benefit.
Action Required
By October 1, 2025: Update documentation templates, encounter forms, and any internal references to change 'Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)' to 'Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Treatment' for Kansas Medicaid patients. Monitor KanCare MCO implementation dates as they may vary from the October 1st effective date.
