New paper - Medicaid "unwinding" associated with net decrease in buprenorphine prescribing for opioid use disorder (some offset from commercial insurance).

Some state policies mitigated this negative impact.

Hats off to @drsumedhagupta.bsky.social for this work!

New in @Health_Affairs: Christopher Behrer, Velda Wang, Jessica Banthin, @KateBundorf & I find post-unwinding Medicaid redeterminations led to minimal changes in overall uninsurance as many offset Medicaid loss with employer-sponsored or private insurance.@IUImpact @IUNewsroom
