What does a sufficient pain care formulary look like?

The AMA believes it is essential for formularies to also include a broad range of evidence-based pain care options. This resource is meant to provide an overview for policymakers of the types of treatments practicing physicians use to treat pain but may be subject to formulary exclusion or administrative barriers such as prior authorization or step therapy, or subject to cost-prohibitive co-pays, cost sharing and adverse formulary tiering.
