Pillcheck in Disability Management
Pillcheck may be available to a person on disability claim through his or her disability management provider in order to support recovery and successful return to work.
The disability case manager facilitates the Pillcheck requisition for the claimant, pays for the cost, and sends a copy of the Pillcheck Pharmacist Opinion Letter to the claimant’s physician.
Pillcheck results are provided as additional insights to support a physician’s prescribing decisions. It is between the patient and the physician’s professional judgment how best to apply this information in the overall context of a patient’s medical conditions and history, and other medical data available.
Pillcheck results have no impact on drug or disability insurance claims.
Participation is purely voluntary and subject to the claimant’s informed consent.
The case manager has access to the Pharmacist Opinion Letter summary and has no access to the claimant’s detailed genetic results. Data access is explained in the informed consent form.
The person on disability can contact his or her case manager to find out about eligibility for Pillcheck coverage.
