American Health & Drug Benefits
- Educate providers and patients on drugs that can minimize opioid abuse; current approaches include prescription monitoring programs, preventing prescription/medical errors, checking patient identification at the pharmacy, referral to pain specialists, and the use of abuse-deterrent opioid formulations.[1]
- Preform comprehensive initial assessment of the patient and regular monitoring of patients who are prescribed opioids.[2]
- Payers could help to enhance this approach by providing physicians enrolled in their insurance plans with educational/training materials or training programs. [3]
The above recommendations can help to reduce both health costs and employment issues.
