Counts and payments were calculated for accepted and denied claims for CoCM and general BHI services delivered to Medicare beneficiaries nationwide in 2017-2018. Payment and utilization data were stratified by clinical specialty and site of service. Overall, 10,294 CoCM and general BHI services were delivered in 2017, totaling $626,292 in payments, and 81,433 CoCM and general BHI services were delivered in 2018, totaling $7,442,985 in payments. Medicare denied 5% of services in 2017 and 32% in 2018. Most CoCM and general BHI services were delivered by primary care physicians in office-based settings. This study of codes designed to promote BHI revealed an eightfold increase in CoCM and general BHI use between 2017 and 2018. However, denied services represent a barrier, and use among eligible beneficiaries remains low.

However, denied services represent a barrier, and use among eligible beneficiaries remains low. Most U.S. acute care hospitals have adopted basic electronic health record (EHR) functionality and health information exchange (HIE) (84% and 88%, respectively, in 2017). This study examined whether rates of EHR and HIE adoption by hospital-based substance use disorder programs are lower than rates by acute care hospitals. Data from the 2017 National Survey on Substance Abuse Treatment Services were analyzed to examine adoption of basic EHR functionality (i.e., assessment, progress monitoring, discharge, labs, and prescription dispensing) and use of HIE by hospital-based programs. Analyses used weighted multivariable models of EHR and HIE outcomes, adjusted for nonresponse. Of 894 hospital-based substance use disorder programs wi
