From 2013 to 2017 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services redacted Medicare claims that included diagnosis or procedure codes related to substance abuse. The redaction policy was in effect as the Affordable Care Act and the opioid epidemic changed the health care landscape. The policy substantially altered prevalence estimates of common chronic conditions that co-occur with substance abuse.
从 2013 年到 2017 年，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心删去了医疗保险索赔中与药物滥用相关的诊断或程序代码。该删改政策是在《平价医疗法案》和阿片类药物泛滥改变医疗保健格局的情况下生效的。该政策极大地改变了与药物滥用共病的常见慢性疾病的流行率估计。
