Why the hell does Medicare not cover bupe?
Got this lovely message today, in regards to an 86 year old woman, whose 2 tramadol per day are not helping anymore: Buprenorphine 5mcg/hr patch - Drug not on formulary - Plan does not cover the medication - We cannot do PA. She provided the preferred alternative: Morphine Sulfate ER tablets and Oxymorphone HCL ER tablets, and she submitted a test claim for both medications, stating that it was paid and that no PA was required.
In the midst of the "opioid epidemic" that everyone is...

Benzodiazepine Epidemic
Greetings,
Pharmacist here. I see plenty of benzos being prescribed where I am. I would say vast majority are being prescribed by PCPs or midlevels. I understand the rationale. Psychiatrists aren’t easily accessible and hence PCPs end up managing the anxiety symptoms.
However, I am bit curious about the prevalence of benzos being prescribed for chronic use. Current evidence points out benzos shouldn’t be used for managing everyday anxiety or panic attacks. In fact, it actually worsens the...

Future prediction: SI fusion style device for pseudo-articulation at the L5/Sacrum for pain surgeons
I predict that there will soon be a fusion device for the pseudo articulation at the L5 TP and the sacrum. Where there is a market, there will be a product.
I have been seeing a lot of these lately. Failed every other intervention possible and get significant relief with the hail mary injection at that "joint".
Any one else experiencing this epidemic? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
