2013 Oklahoma’s legislature successfully passed a comprehensive workers’ comp reform bill, Senate Bill 1062 the system from a court- based system to an administrative one, and creates an alternative insurance option for employers, The bill also addresses the problem of controlled substances. Calls for the adoption of guidelines to be drafted by the Physician Advisory Committee “for the prescription and dispensing of any controlled substance included in Schedule II of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act” if those substances are not addressed in the current edition of the Official Disabilities Guidelines (ODG). The bill also limits reimbursement to physicians who dispense prescription drugs to “no more than ten percent (10%) above cost.” AIC Brian Veazey Oklahoma Bureau Chief Div. Mark Stewart Of Narcotics

Experts urge workers compensation payers to take steps to avoid overprescribing or doctor shopping following a state Supreme Court's decision allowing patients to sue physicians and pharmacies for contributing to their addiction to opioids. Drug monitoring programs helpful What payers in most states can — and should — do to curb overprescribing is to ask workers comp physicians if they're accessing prescription drug monitoring programs, experts said. http://www.businessinsurance.com/article/20150521/NEWS08/150529964/opioid-addiction-suit-puts- workers-comp-payers-on-alert?tags=%7C75%7C79%7C92%7C304%7C309%7C329 AIC Brian Veazey Oklahoma Bureau Chief Div.
