Deaths from prescription opioids have reached epidemic levels in the United States, yet little is known about how insurers’ coverage policies may impact rates of fatal and non-fatal overdose among people filling an opioid prescription. Retrospective cohort study using 2010–2016 Medicare claims data for beneficiaries with one or more filled prescriptions for a Schedule II opioid. Outcomes were opioid volume dispensed in milligrams morphine equivalent (MME), number of days supplied, and number of pills dispensed on each prescription and emergency room or inpatient stay associated with an opioid overdose during a prescription or within 7 days of the end of the prescription. 7.03 million [M] prescriptions for Schedule II opioids were dispensed to 1.87M Part D beneficiary-year. The 7.03M opioid prescriptions were associated with 8.5 opioid overdoses per 10000 prescriptions. PA was associated with larger opioid volumes per prescription (103.6 MME, 95% CI 36.2–171.0). ST was associated with a greater number of days supplied (0.62 days, CI 0.10 – 1.13) and more pills dispensed (6.12 pills, CI 2.17 – 10.1). QL was associated with smaller opioid volumes (24.3 MME, CI 12.3–36.3) and fewer pills dispensed (2.35 pills, CI 1.77–2.93). In adjusted models, beneficiaries filling an opioid requiring PA experienced 3.3 fewer overdoses per 10000 prescriptions (CI 0.41–6.2). Opioid utilization management among these beneficiaries was associated with mixed effects on opioid prescribing, and prior authorization was associated with a decreased likelihood of subsequent overdose. Further work exploring the impact of utilization management and insurer policies is needed. Opioid utilization management in Medicare was associated with mixed effects on opioid prescribing, and prior authorization was associated with a decreased likelihood of subsequent overdose.
