The Bicycle Health clinical model of collaborative, integrated medical and behavioral health care that delivers biopsychosocial treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) via telehealth is an effective way to reach previously unengaged and unreached populations, as evidenced by 31% of Bicycle Health patients reporting no previous history of buprenorphine treatment. Other benefits of the model include retention rates – 86% for insured patients at 30 days and 75% for a mixed population of insured and self pay at 30 days – and accessibility, with 70% of new patients being seen by a buprenorphine-waivered provider on the same or next business day as their initial enrollment outreach.
