Safe and appropriate opioid prescribing and utilization is a shared priority across the healthcare community. Absolute Total Care requires providers to follow its prescription policies, State and Federal regulatory guidance, and adhere to established best practices and patient safety protocols. Our prescription policies are designed to reduce the risk of misuse or abuse of high-risk chronic pain medications. Providers are expected to offer education and support to members regarding opioid safety and pain management, as needed, and continue to assess the use of opioid treatment to determine if tapering or discontinuation is a viable possibility. Providers may utilize the following information to assist in opioid pain management treatment decisions.
