Opioid Prescribing Limits – Effective October 1, 2016
Managed Health Services (MHS) has worked with the State Medicaid program to determine a set of common criteria that balances the clinical need for opioid pain medications, while helping to minimize the number of members on opioid medications for longer than clinically needed. This was a collaborative effort to create limits that support both CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain and the Indiana Pain Management Prescribing Rules.
