Westlake Village, CA – Health Strategy Associates Principal Joseph Paduda presents “Uncapping the Truth,” a webinar revealing the results of CID Management’s First Annual Survey of Opioids in Workers’ Compensation on Tuesday Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. Pacific, 2 p.m. Eastern.
Conducted by HSA and sponsored by CID Management, the survey probed payers’ understanding of opioid use in workers’ compensation and strategies used to control it.
“Understanding the industry’s point of view on a vital issue such as opioid management is key to developing solutions to help manage the problem,” said CID’s Managing Partner Steven Cardinale. “The survey provides a much-needed lens from which to explore the direction thought leaders in workers’ compensation are moving.”
More than 400 respondents, including adjusters, claims managers and high-level executives for workers’ compensation insurance carriers, third party administrators and employers, participated in the web-based survey. Respondents rated the effectiveness of regulators and other stakeholders in addressing opioid overuse, described current programs to reduce utilization and discussed how they track results.
“Most respondents understand the overall opioid issue and the optimal solution, but few of their organizations have implemented integrated, comprehensive programs,” Paduda said.
