Abstract
(1) To compare the date of death of Medicaid enrollees in Maine according to the Medicaid enrolment data to the date of death obtained through an ongoing quarterly death certificate-Medicaid linkage for 2016–2023; and (2) using the death certificate-Medicaid linkage data, to perform an analysis of the risk of drug overdose death in 2023 by opioid use disorder (OUD) status in 2023, as part of monitoring activities required for one of Maine's new approaches to delivering Medicaid services.
