10.15.2017 Use of Opioids at High Dosage and Use of Opioids From Multiple Providers Step 2 of the UOD and UOP eligible population states to exclude “members who had only a single opioid medication (Opioid Medications List) dispensing event.” Does a member who had multiple prescriptions (for the same or different medications) on the same date of service (with no prescriptions on other dates of service during the measurement year) meet criteria for exclusion?

Yes. The intent is to exclude members who were dispensed opioids on only one date of service during the measurement year. If the member had multiple prescriptions (for the same or different medication) on one date of service and had no opioid prescriptions on another date of service during the measurement year, the member is excluded.
