ASAM to CMS: Finalize Increased Payments for Prevention and Treatment Services

American Society of Addiction Medicine·October 2, 2026
ASAM to CMS: Finalize Increased Payments for Prevention and Treatment Services

The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has submitted formal comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) urging the finalization of increased payment rates for essential prevention and treatment services. This advocacy effort emphasizes the integration of comprehensive care models, including nutritional and medical support, within the Medicare and Medicaid frameworks to improve patient outcomes.

HNH Insight

While the article focuses on addiction medicine, it highlights the ongoing policy pressure on CMS to expand coverage and reimbursement for preventative health interventions, which is a critical component of the broader 'Food is Medicine' legislative agenda.
