- Authors
Volkov, Eden; Gamino, Aaron M.; Fronstin, Paul
- Abstract
The article focuses on the impact of state drug testing laws on opioid therapy patients and their implications for employment-based health plans. It highlights that state drug testing laws increase testing rates among chronic pain patients prescribed opioids but have no impact on opioid prescribing rates, suggesting that these laws are an important diagnostic tool for doctors in treating employees most in need of opioid therapy.
