Our turn-key services allow the physician, physician partners, and distribution channels to focus on their business while relying on IHP to manage new revenue opportunities.

The abuse of certain prescription medication continues to rise at an alarming rate. IHP approaches our relationships with our clients as a collaborative effort to safeguard the physician, the patient and the community by monitoring prescription drug treatment in an effort to identify diversion in the early stages. There is a growing concern from government agencies for the increase in misuse, and treatment plans and monitoring through toxicology screening is often cited as the best method to maintain compliance. "Data from 938,586 patient test samples showed that 75% of patients were unlikely to be taking their medications in a manner consistent with their prescribed pain regimen. Thirty-eight percent of patients were found to have no detectable level of their prescribed medication, 29% had a nonprescribed medication present, 27% had a drug level higher than expected, 15% had a drug level lower than expected, and 11% had illicit drugs detected in their urine ... The high observed rate of noncompliance demonstrates a significant clinical concern and confirms the importance of periodic urine drug screening for the population prescribed long-term opioid therapy." - Population Health Management 2009;12:185–190
