Ohio’s SUD 1115 Waiver Granted Temporary Extension

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) has released information that it’s application to temporarily extend its Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver has been extended through December 31, 2025. Ohio’s original substance use disorder (SUD) demonstration waiver was approved in September, 2019, to support a comprehensive continuum of care for Medicaid-enrolled individuals living with an Opioid Use Disorder or other SUDs.

Ohio’s application to extend its Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver was submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in April 2024. ODM has received multiple temporary extensions to continue to operate under the 1115 waiver past the original expiration date of September 30, 2024, to allow CMS to complete its review of the state’s extension application.
