Navigating Workers' Comp Pharmacy

Opioids Are Not the Only Workers' Comp Pharmacy Challenge

Addressing the Complexities of Issues Facing Pharmacy Programs

When we think about issues facing pharmacy programs, the first thing that often comes to mind is the opioid epidemic, and while opioids still require attention, they are not the only trend we need to watch closely. According to the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), prescription drug costs make up 13% to 14% on average of an overall workers’ compensation claim. There are many factors that come into play when evaluating the prescriptions behind these claims, and we will identify the wide variety of variables driving costs and outcomes in our white paper.
