Tom Holder Discusses Drug Formularies in Workers’ Compensation: Are They Good for Injured Workers?

Work Injury Lawyers (Home) / Blog / Workers' Compensation / Tom Holder Discusses Drug Formularies in Workers’ Compensation: Are They Good for Injured Workers?

By Benjamin Gerber

A “drug formulary” is a list of both generic and brand name prescription drugs commonly used by practitioners to identify drugs that offer the greatest overall value to patients. Drug formularies are put in place by workers’ compensation insurance companies to regulate the amount and duration of medications for injured workers.

But are formularies actually helpful in lessening medical costs, or are they a burden for workers and their doctors?

Firm partner Tom Holder recently sat down with Alan Pierce, host of the Legal Talk Network podcast Workers’ Comp Matters and past WILG President, to talk about the role of drug formularies in workers’ compensation cases.

Listen to the 23-minute interview below to learn more about the many issues surrounding drug formularies and their pros and cons in relation to overall medical care costs and quality of care for injured workers.
