Millennium Laboratories to Host Session at Medicaid Health Plans of America 2013
(PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- WHAT: Millennium Laboratories, a leader in the science of toxicology and pharmacogenetics, will host a breakfast session entitled: The Economic Impact of Opioid Abuse and Clinical Value to Medication Monitoring at Medicaid Health Plans of America 2013 (MHPA 2013), the country’s largest gathering of Medicaid health plan industry executives, in National Harbor, Md. on Tuesday, Oct. 22. For more information, visit Millennium Laboratories at booth #112.
WHO: Angela Huskey, PharmD, CPE, vice president of clinical practice, Millennium Laboratories and research scientist, Millennium Research Institute and Ira Kornbluth, MD, founder of SMART Pain Management will present.
WHY: Attendees of the session at MHPA 2013 will gain an understanding of the clinical value of urine drug testing (UDT) as an objective, evidence-based monitoring tool to aid prescribers in identifying potential misuse, abuse or diversion, as part of a multipronged approach. Huskey will present data from an analysis showing a potential net-benefit for urine drug testing in a population of Medicaid patients with pain. Millennium believes this preliminary investigation is the first time that economic data has been used to show the predictive value of UDT and requires additional investigation and validation in coordination with Millennium’s contracted Medicaid providers.
