This cross-sectional study analyzes the prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) and rates of medication treatment and nonfatal overdose among Medicaid enrollees in the US by state and county from 2016 to 2018. What is the geographic variation in claims-based prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) and rates of OUD medication treatment and OUD-related nonfatal overdose among individuals enrolled in Medicaid from 2016 to 2018? In this cross-sectional study of 76 390 817 enrollee-year observations, cross-state OUD prevalence ranged from 0.6% to 9.7%, rates of OUD medication treatment from 17.7% to 82.8%, and rates of OUD-related overdoses from 0.3% to 10.5% across states. Variation was also substantial across counties. The findings suggest that further research is needed to identify factors influencing claims-based OUD prevalence and rates of OUD medication treatment and overdose. The opioid crisis disproportionately affects Medicaid enrollees, yet little systematic evidence exists regarding how prevalence of and health care utilization for opioid use disorder (OUD) vary across geographical areas. To characterize state- and county-level variation in claims-based prevalence of OUD and rates of medication treatment for OUD and OUD-related nonfatal overdose among Medicaid enrollees. This cross-sectional study used data from the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System Analytic Files from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. Participants were Medicaid enrollees with or without OUD in 46 states; Washington, DC; and Puerto Rico who were aged 18 to 64 years and not dually enrolled in Medicare. The analysis was conducted between September 2022 and April 2023. Calendar-year OUD prevalence. The main outcomes were claims-based measures of OUD prevalence and rates of medication treatment for OUD and opioid-related nonfatal overdose. Individual records were aggregated at the state and county level, and variation was assessed within and across states. Of the 76 390 817 Medicaid enrollee-year observations included in our study (mean [SD] enrollee age, 36.5 [1.6] years; 59.0% female), 2 280 272 (3.0%) had a claims-based OUD (mean [SD] age, 38.9 [3.6] years; 51.4% female). Of enrollees with OUD, 41.2% were eligible due to Medicaid expansion, 46.4% had other substance use disorders, 55.8% had mental health conditions, 55.2% had claims indicating some form of OUD medication, and 5.8% had claims indicating an overdose during a calendar year. Claims-based outcomes exhibited substantial variation across states: OUD prevalence ranged from 0.6% in Arkansas and Puerto Rico to 9.7% in Maryland, rates of OUD medication treatment ranged from 17.7% in Kansas to 82.8% in Maine, and rates of overdose ranged from 0.3% in Mississippi to 10.5% in Illinois. Pronounced variation was also found within states (eg, OUD prevalence in Maryland ranged from 2.2% in Prince George’s County to 21.6% in Cecil County). In this cross-sectional study of Medicaid enrollees from 2016 to 2018, claims-based prevalence of OUD and rates of OUD medication treatment and opioid-related overdose varied substantially across and within states. Further research appears to be needed to identify important factors influencing this variation.
