CMS to update SPA template for medication-assisted treatment benefit
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services today released a notice seeking public comment on the collection of information request regarding the State Plan Amendment template for medication-assisted treatment. SPA templates are provided by CMS to assist states with Medicaid application submissions as well as reducing administrative burden and increasing efficiency. States are required to cover MATs for opioid use disorder under their state Medicaid programs. CMS said it is planning to update the SPA template for MAT to align with statutory updates. The comment period will be open for 14 days following publication in the April 16 Federal Register.
