Benefits of high-dose opioids for chronic pain are not established. At the same time, risks for serious harm related to opioid therapy increases at higher dosages, and in combination with other medications that affect the nervous system. Molina Healthcare encourages safe and appropriate opioid prescription and utilization based on scientific evidence.
Molina Healthcare is committed to doing its part to help improve the safety of members who suffer from opioid use disorders, and to helping prevent problems related to opioid use. As part of a comprehensive Pain Safety Initiative, Molina Healthcare offers resources to enhance the knowledge available to its providers, and to support safe pain management practices.
