Toxicology Confirmation Testing Can Increase Practice Revenue When Medical Practices Align Themselves With a Testing Facility

Testing Today Cuts Down on the Number of Drug Overdoses Involving Prescription Pain Relief

San Diego, CA - July 13, 2015 - (Newswire.com)

According to statistical data, prescription painkiller use and overdosing has become a major epidemic. In 2008, for example, 15,000 people died as the result of overdosing on the prescription medicines.

The Centers for Disease Control recently described the U.S. as being involved in a serious crisis – a serious problem that has developed because of the staggering number of emergency room visits that are made to the emergency room by people who overdose on pain medicines. Statistics show that the number of deaths by females who overdose has jumped 400% from 1999 to 2010 – averaging a little over 6,500 deaths each year. A 265% increase has been reported in overdoses for men, all which equals to an average of 10,000 deaths annually for the same span of time.

As a result, doctors’ practices are realizing how toxicology testing can play an important role in the offerings and services provided by a medical practice. The benefits of toxicology testing, especially in this day and age, are apparent: a patient  can be assessed with greater ease and the abuse of pain medications can be reduced through toxicological testing – an exam that is based on effective treatment and enhanced compliance.

According to Ancillary Medical Solutions in San Diego, toxicology assessments can reduce the risk of prescription overdosing. If you are a physician who sees how toxicological data can be fully utilized in your office’s offerings, then you owe it to yourself to take some time and see how toxicological evaluations can lessen the abuse of prescription drugs, enhance compliance and set up a system of effective treatment management.
