Health & Public Policy Committee

OPI Program
The MO HealthNet Opioid Prescription Intervention (OPI) Program has provided clinical advisory mailings to prescribers caring for MO HealthNet participants since 2010. The program involves selected evidence-based, best practice Quality Indicators™ (QI’s) applied to MO HealthNet pharmacy and medical claims data to generate a customized packet of information to providers regarding their prescribing activity. Learn more about the program here.

MO HealthNet has developed clinical policy based on the CDC 2016 Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain. MO ACP has some concerns with the program and the use of these guidelines. Letters were sent to the programs involved in this initiative to express our concerns. Please see the letters below.
