State Adopts Drug Formulary For Workers’ Compensation System
In May 2017, the Montana Legislature passed SB312, authorizing the Montana Department of Labor & Industry (DOLI) to adopt a drug formulary for the workers’ compensation system. The formulary will work in conjunction with the Montana Utilization & Treatment Guidelines and is intended to provide uniformity in prescribing medications to injured workers. This new drug formulary will affect claims arising on or after April 1, 2019.
