On March 22, 2012, Broadspire, a Crawford Company and leading third party administrator (TPA) and medical management services provider, brought together representatives from a number of key industry organizations to discuss the challenges in prescription drug management for workers compensation claims during its first pharmacy summit.

The intention of the summit was to focus on global industry issues, trends and developments in the future. In bringing together resources from all aspects of the pharmacy management process, the group was able to have an all encompassing discussion of the issue, and examine the challenges from all perspectives and vantage points. Throughout the day, the group discussed the common threads that tie together claimant, payer, employer and carrier interests. The group also shared ideas that could be put into practice to improve outcomes for everyone concerned.

 

 

 

 

More than 50 brokers, practice leaders, clinicians and others from major insurers, insurance brokerage firms and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organizations attended the summit, which was held at Broadspire’s Sunrise, Fla., medical management headquarters. The panels were divided into four key areas of focus

 

  1. Pharmacy program design
  2. Opioids and controlled substances
  3. Physician dispensing
  4. Key legislative updates.

Panelists in the discussion included Eileen Ramallo, Executive Vice President of Healthcare Solutions; Lori Daugherty, President of PMSI/Tmesys; Atermis Emslie, President of MyMatrixx; and Kathy Tiemeier, Clinical Program Manager of Express Scripts.
