Patients with deductible plans that do not include SUD as a covered benefit are responsible for bearing the cost of those services until their deductible is reached, and/or the accumulating cost of copays for multiple visits as part of the SUD care model.

Eligible participants who provided informed consent were scheduled for a baseline session where they completed self-report measures and provided a saliva sample for cotinine testing. Participants returned for follow-up measures and cotinine testing 6 and 12 months after baseline. Study incentives were $30 for the baseline, $35 for the 6-month, and $40 for the 12-month…
