BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Prescription drug management support offered for comp providers

Reprints

Genex Services L.L.C. on Wednesday said it has launched a customized and integrated approach to prescription drug management in workers compensation.

Medication Safety 2.0 includes oversight and coordination for medication alerts, medication safety programs and field case management, among other things, the Wayne, Pennsylvania-based managed care services provider said in a statement.

A key component of the program includes one-on-one counseling in a meeting between a prescriber and a field case manager to ensure health care providers are prescribing medications in accordance with clinically supported guidelines, rather than relying on phone calls or letters, according to the statement.

“Increasingly, our customers are asking us to work with their PBM to design a network that meets their needs in a program designed to help their injured workers and promote savings and best outcomes,” Ron Skrocki, vice president of product management and development for Genex, said in the statement.

“Our focus is on medication safety, utilization review from trained nurses and physicians, adherence to guidelines and optimal network utilization,” he added.
