CHECK INSURANCE

Does Rhode Island Medicaid Cover suboxone?

Yes — Rhode Island Medicaid covers Suboxone® treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). Coverage generally includes clinician visits, medication, and related treatment support, which makes it possible for many patients to access care at little to no cost.

Here is what Rhode Island Medicaid coverage generally includes

Clinician visits

Clinician visits — Telehealth visits with a licensed clinician are typically covered under Rhode Island Medicaid plans.

Medication

Medication — Rhode Island Medicaid generally covers buprenorphine-based medications for OUD, including Suboxone® and its generic equivalent, buprenorphine/naloxone. In most cases, patients receive the generic version rather than brand-name Suboxone®. Both are clinically equivalent and work the same way.

Prior authorization

Prior authorization — Some Rhode Island Medicaid plans may require prior authorization before covering Suboxone®. Ophelia handles this process on your behalf.

Out-of-pocket costs

Out-of-pocket costs — Most Rhode Island Medicaid patients pay little to nothing for care, and many pay less than $10 per month. [STATE_MEDICAID_COST_DETAILS]
