Pharmacy Intervention Protocol
It starts with identifying
those in need of assistance. Coordinated with the PBM, participants who
acquire certain identified medications using their prescription drug plan
must contact Interface EAP or incur an increase in their co-pays (for any
of the target medications). Once contact with Interface is made, the
participant is provided an initial screening to assess their situation and
determine if psychotherapy or other behavioral health services would
assist with improving their condition. If it is determined they would
not benefit from our program, there is no further intervention and
their co-pay remains at the regular level. If it is determined they would
benefit, they are offered a free referral to the Pharmacy Intervention
Protocol (PIP) patent pending, which includes an
Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the foundation of Total Life
Assistance™ (TLA). Employers may use either an
incentive or penalty approach with this program by raising/lowering the
participant’s co-pay dependent on compliance/non-compliance. A
significant percentage of participants will eliminate their medication as
a result of gaining coping skills to better handle the stressors causing
their symptoms. The majority of cases will be resolved using the EAP
benefit (The greater the number of EAP sessions available, the greater the
percentage of cases resolved under the EAP). Those needing treatment
beyond the EAP are referred to benefits under the health plan. The net
result is a win-win with employers reducing pharmacy and medical costs,
and employees becoming healthier and non-drug dependent for mild to
moderate mental health issues.
