Mississippi Medicaid and Magnolia Health both cover Suboxone visits — in-person or by video.

Substance use treatment is a covered benefit, and generic buprenorphine/naloxone is on every formulary. That includes telehealth visits — Mississippi's parity law requires insurance, including Medicaid, to cover a video visit the same as an in-person one.

Kim verifies your specific Medicaid or Magnolia Health plan before your first visit, so there are no surprises.

What to bring

Two things for your first visit.

— Your Medicaid or Magnolia Health card.
— A photo ID.

That's it. If you're not sure whether your specific plan is active or need help finding your Medicaid ID number, call and Kim can help you sort it out before your appointment.

Getting started

Same-week appointments, in-person or by video.

Most new Medicaid patients are seen within the same week. If you're in withdrawal now, ask about same-day induction. If a Mississippi county without a nearby in-person provider is the barrier, telehealth is available statewide with the same Medicaid coverage.
