Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ohio Medicaid cover suboxone without prior authorization?
Yes. Ohio was one of the first states to eliminate prior authorization requirements for buprenorphine (Suboxone/Zubsolv) for OUD. Ohio Medicaid (through managed care plans like CareSource, Molina, Buckeye Health Plan, and others) covers buprenorphine with minimal barriers. This was implemented as part of Ohio's response to the opioid crisis. Columbus patients on Ohio Medicaid should be able to access buprenorphine through any participating prescriber without pre-approval.
What are the main suboxone programs in Columbus?
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has an addiction medicine program through its Family Medicine and Psychiatry departments. OhioHealth's addiction medicine service line includes buprenorphine prescribing at multiple Columbus locations. Equitas Health (formerly AIDS Healthcare Foundation Ohio) integrates MAT with HIV and primary care for at-risk populations. The ColumbusCares initiative has expanded community health center MAT capacity in underserved Columbus neighborhoods.
Are there suboxone clinics on the east or south side of Columbus?
Columbus's east side (Linden, Whitehall) and south side (South Linden, Merion Village) have historically been underserved for MAT compared to the Short North and Clintonville. The Columbus Department of Health and Franklin County's ADAMH (Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board) have worked to expand OBOT capacity in these neighborhoods. Telehealth MAT provides geographic access to patients anywhere in Franklin County without requiring clinic travel.
Can I get suboxone via telehealth in Columbus?
Yes. Telehealth buprenorphine prescribing is available in Ohio. Columbus has good broadband coverage, making video-based MAT consultations practical for most patients. National telehealth MAT platforms and Ohio-licensed telehealth prescribers provide access to buprenorphine without requiring in-person visits. Ohio's Medicaid managed care plans cover telehealth MAT under the same terms as in-person prescribing.
