The drug formulary must be adopted by July 1, 2017, and must be consistent with California’s Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS), for medications prescribed in the workers comp system.
Assembly Bill 1124 (Statutes 2015, Chapter 525) requires DWC adopt the evidence-based workers comp drug formulary in consultation with the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers Compensation, and that DWC’s administrative director meet and consult with stakeholders.
The legislation further requires posting of a minimum of two interim reports describing the status of the formulary’s creation.
Additional information on implementation of the drug formulary is posted on DWC’s forum and MTUS webpages.
