Description

As the Medicare program provides healthcare coverage to over 58 million beneficiaries, it plays a significant role in the management of opioid prescriptions. In the aging population over 65, Medicare accounts for a large share of total opioid use. Data from 2016 shows that one out of every three beneficiaries was prescribed an opioid through Medicare Part D. While many beneficiaries with serious pain-related conditions receive proper prescriptions, there is growing evidence regarding opioid misuse within the Medicare system. This book examines the complexities of this issue, providing a detailed look at the current landscape of prescription trends and the risks involved for the elderly population. Readers will find an analysis of proposed programs designed to improve screening processes. By focusing on these methods, the text explores how early detection of potential opioid use can be achieved to improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes within the Medicare framework.
