Pharmacy Solutions Drug Trends Analysis
The State of Pharmacy Trends in Workers' Compensation.
Part 1: Evaluating Retail and Mail Order Prescriptions
As employees head back into the office, we are seeing claim counts beginning to normalize with pharmacy trends following suit. In 2022 our retail and mail order channels continued to see positive results through pharmacy program management.
Part 2: Evaluating In- and Out-of-Network Trends
Out-of-network prescriptions represent an area of additional opportunity for clinical and cost controls and can often be associated with high-cost drugs.
Part 3: Evaluating Opioids
Opioids continue to represent a decreasing proportion of overall scripts and costs, with favorable trends seen in important markers such as morphine equivalent dose (MED), duration of use, and access to guideline-supported measures including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and overdose rescue medication (naloxone).
Part 4: High Impact Drug Classes
Categories such as topicals, compound kits, combo packs, and specialty medications represent proportionately low workers' comp utilization, however, they can be associated with exponentially significant costs. Recognizing the trends related to such cost drivers can help promote clinically appropriate savings.
