Despite the ED being a key touchpoint for MOUD, initiation and retention rates among South Carolina Medicaid enrollees remain low, especially among Black enrollees and younger adults. These disparities highlight urgent needs for targeted, equitable strategies to improve MOUD access and engagement amid rising fentanyl-related overdose deaths.
