Compelling data from a recent study indicates that locking vial dispensing for MAT/MOUD is a clinical must-have.
Locking vials were proven to alleviate provider concerns over diversion and reduced the top three barriers to patient enrollment in MAT, which generates a 74% 12-month reduction in acute care utilization by the patient.
The results have led to national media coverage in Pharmacy Times, Becker’s Hospital Review and other publications, and are driving Medicaid coverage decisions in multiple states.
