Comprehensive Primary Care Plus Demonstration Shows Few Differences In Access To Mental Health & Addiction Treatment

Non-elderly commercially insured adults with depression, anxiety, or opioid use disorder (OUD) served by primary care practices in Pennsylvania participating in the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) demonstration had few differences in access to mental health and addiction treatment than those served by non-CPC+ practices. Among those diagnosed with OUD, those attributed to a CPC+ practice filled 0.117 more prescriptions for buprenorphine per person per quarter. They also filled 0.162 more antianxiety medications per person per quarter. Among those diagnosed with depression or anxiety, those attributed to a CPC+ filled 0.024 more prescriptions for buprenorphine . . .
