MEDICATION ASSESSMENT
Independent medication evidence for the liability decision.
Medication Assessment helps claims teams determine whether prescribed medicines are clinically justified, claim-related, and supported by defensible evidence before an insurer commits to ongoing medication costs.

CLAIMS DECISIONING WORKFLOW
First question: is the insurer liable for the medication?
Medication Assessment is designed for the first point in the claims workflow: clarifying whether the prescribed medicine is clinically connected to the accepted injury or condition, appropriate for the circumstances, and reasonable for the insurer to fund.

REVIEW TRIGGERS
A medication assessment is valuable whenever claims teams need confidence, clarity, or independent guidance on medication use. Typical scenarios include:

Managing complex or high-risk regimens — especially when multiple prescribers or overlapping therapies are involved.
Determining clinical appropriateness — confirming that prescribed medicines are necessary and justified.
Clarifying treatment alignment — ensuring medications are connected to the accepted injury and treatment goals.
Assessing specific therapies — such as medicinal cannabis where objectives or expected outcomes are unclear.
Resolving conflicting opinions — when different treating providers offer opposing guidance.
Evaluating costs and value — ensuring medication spending aligns with therapeutic benefit.
Identifying potential risks — including interactions, polypharmacy, or factors that may delay recovery.
Pre-IME review — for cases requiring assessment before escalation to an Independent Medical Examination.
