Evaluation of the Washington State Access to Recovery project: Effects on Medicaid costs for working age disabled clients
چکیده انگلیسی

In 2004, the federal government made a major commitment to support expanded substance abuse (SA) recovery services by initiating the Access to Recovery (ATR) program. The initial ATR I program awarded grants to 14 states, including Washington State. We evaluated Washington's ATR I program to determine its effect on Medicaid costs for working age disabled clients. We compared per member per month (PMPM) Medicaid costs during 1 year follow-up for clients who received ATR services (N = 1,347) with costs for a matched comparison group of 1,243 clients and used multiple regression techniques to estimate changes in Medicaid costs associated with ATR. ATR was found to be associated with reductions in PMPM Medicaid costs of $66 (p = .11) to $136 (p = .05) depending upon months of Medicaid eligibility. Recovery services aimed at facilitating engagement in SA treatment and aftercare appear to foster modest savings in Medicaid costs for working age disabled clients.
