Summary
HealthNet California issued guidance on opioid drug interactions and potentiator drugs that increase overdose risk for Medi-Cal providers in Imperial County. This appears to be educational/clinical guidance rather than a billing policy change.
Action Required
Review the opioid interactions flyer (PDF) available from HealthNet to understand which medications may intensify opioid effects. This applies to clinical practice rather than billing procedures, but may inform documentation for opioid-related treatments.
