Colorado Injured Workers Pharmacy Explained – The number one priority when serving injured workers is getting them quality care, and one of the biggest facets of getting them quality care is making sure that they get their prescriptions timely.

What is an Injured Workers Pharmacy?

Injured Workers Pharmacy (IWP) will deliver your workers’ compensation medications to you. The service is very prompt, the medications are delivered within a couple of days after sending the prescription and it’s a simple process.

For some clients, even when the insurance company was trying to deny their cases, IWP never denied their medications and always got them in time.

Enrollment is very easy, we call IWP and the person will be enrolled in 5 minutes. We have clients who speak English, Spanish, and Somalian, and IWP has people who speak their language.

The clients don’t have to pay anything, and IWP ensures they get their medications on time.

Injured Workers Pharmacy is a great partner

Authorizing prescriptions can be very difficult, for example, if we’re trying to get authorization from an adjuster on a Friday afternoon for a client who needs medication for the weekend after surgery, the adjuster might already be out for the weekend, but since IWP we have not had problems.

IWP has been a great partner with our law firm helping our clients. We’ve had cases where our clients weren’t able to return to work because of the effects of the prescriptions, and IWP pharmacists have been available for us to call as witnesses free of charge by telephone to explain to the judge how their prescriptions would impair their ability to do their jobs.

It’s not often we have issues, but when we do, we’ve found that IWP has great customer service. We’ve had a great relationship with them.
