We’re Here For You

At EmblemHealth, we’re committed to promoting safe and responsible pain management. Our Drug Management Program (DMP) helps our Medicare members safely use prescription opioid medicines or other drugs that are at risk of being abused.

MANAGING YOUR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

Working with your doctors, we can help determine if you are at risk for misusing or abusing prescription drugs, including:

  • Opioids — pain medicines such as hydrocodone (Vicodin) or oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet).
  • Benzodiazepines — antianxiety medicines such as Klonopin and Xanax.

Understanding Drug Safety

In certain circumstances, we may limit how you can get prescription drugs* that are frequently abused.

*The DMP may not apply to you if you have certain medical conditions, such as cancer, a sickle cell diagnosis, or you are receiving hospice care or live in a long-term care facility.

How To Safely Dispose of Unused Medicine

Unused prescription drugs should be disposed of as soon as possible if they are no longer needed. Timely disposal can reduce the risk of others taking the medicine accidentally or intentionally misusing it.
