For Large Employers, the Opioid Epidemic Can Stretch Far Beyond Medical Claims
Deloitte July 26, 2018 "Employers are spending nearly nine times more to treat opioid addiction and overdoses (prescription and illicit drug use) than they did 12 years ago -- from $300 million in 2004 to $2.6 billion in 2016 ... Many health plans and PBMs have a stake in improving care outcomes, and they have key assets -- especially data -- -that could be used for diagnosis and treatment. Strategies that some health plans and PBMs are already using include: [1] Pharmacy lock-in programs ... [2] Utilization management tools ... [3] Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) ... An ecosystem approach is still needed." |
