• Opioid- Related Educational Resources (Free CME)

  • GlobalHealth supports safe, effective treatment with various activities, such as provider and member education, Provider Behavioral Health toolkits and behavioral health and substance abuse treatment. GlobalHealth collects and reports annual data on two HEDIS opioid related measures. Our pharmacy team monitors opioid prescriptions for high dosages, multiple fills, multiple providers and/or pharmacies. When these are identified, we work with the provider(s) and member to ensure clear communication and coordination of care.  

  • While the programs are developed for Primary Care, GlobalHealth encourages all of our network providers to review the information.
