MO HealthNet Opioid Prescription Intervention (OPI) Program Update


POSTED IN: Forum Topic,

The MO HealthNet (MHD) Opioid Prescription Intervention (OPI) Program provides clinical advisory mailings to prescribers caring for MHD participants. The mailings contain information that may assist prescribers with updating their opioid prescribing practices ultimately improving care to our MHD participants.

MHD recognizes there is an urgent need to influence our community’s opioid use. We must accelerate the process of returning opioid prescribing to a more secure and measured level. Through the OPI program, MHD is working to separate providers who appear to demonstrate a pattern of suspicious prescribing habits from those who do not. This process enables MHD to identify where resources are best concentrated.
