Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features the recent announcement from Healthesystems of the launch of a new e-tool that enables workers’ comp carriers to play a more active role in managing opioid use and identify potential addiction, abuse, misuse and diversion.
The new tool, OpioidRx RISC Score (Real-time Indicator & Severity Calculation), calculates the level of risk a claimant has with opioid therapy using factors including dosage and strength of prescribed drugs. Scores can be calculated prospectively and in real-time at the pre-authorization stage, are based on the claimant’s total documented opioid history, and can also be aggregated across multiple claims.
