Missouri
“Safe at Home” Pharmacy reimbursement program
In December of 2021, Missouri HealthNet partnered with the Missouri Board of Pharmacy’s Rx Cares and the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services (DHSS) to launch the “Safe at Home” Patient Safety Opioid Initiative. The “Safe at Home” Patient Safety Opioid Initiative leverages in-home drug disposal to address substance use disorder, a contributing factor of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. Through a coordinated state effort, patients are protected through risk awareness, injury prevention, and avoid many problems associated with drug abuse.
The program’s success is driven by engaging all the key players. Missouri’s HealthNet (Medicaid), DHSS, and professional organizations like the Missouri Board of Pharmacy engage pharmacists and other providers through provider bulletins and standing orders. Pharmacists educate and distribute DisposeRx in-home drug disposal packets to patients at risk of opioid-related overdose. Patients then keep the small, safe, cost-effective packets in the medicine cabinet to destroy the prescription the moment it’s no longer needed. The result is a turn-key opioid abatement program that promotes positive change in the community, reimburses pharmacists, and helps protect families.
The “Safe At Home” Patient Safety Opioid Initiative is only one of the programs involving DisposeRx. Read on to learn more or use the contact form below to discuss an opioid abatement program for your state.
