Abstract:
The American Society of Addiction Medicine Criteria (ASAM) Criteria has profoundly influenced addiction treatment and reimbursement, with its growing toolkit of ASAM CONTINUUM software, ASAM-CARF Level of Care Certification Program, educational programs, and publications. A retrospective accounting shows that the field has made considerable strides, but has far to go. Providers and payers still need to (1) improve consistency in their use of standardized, multidimensional patient assessment; (2) improve flexibility in providing and reimbursing person-centered, individualized services; (3) improve measurement in treatment planning for determination of progress; and (4) focus on outcomes and value in the care they deliver.
