The opioid epidemic
FSBP is here to help
Dealing with chronic pain comes with many issues — and opioid prescriptions can be the most concerning. Opioid use has turned into an epidemic, and the White House has declared it a national emergency.
“strengthen efforts to avoid opioid misuse and treat addiction by ensuring the widest availability of overdose reversal or ‘rescue’ agents.”
To accomplish this, FSBP covers access to lifesaving rescue agents (e.g. Narcan), when prescribed by a physician and obtained from a network pharmacy.* See Section 5(f) of the Plan Brochure for more details.
All states have broadened Narcan access laws to widen the availability of Narcan for family, friends and other potential bystanders of overdose. In fact, as of March 2023, all 50 states have expanded access to Narcan without individual prescriptions.
*Limit of 4 units per month.
