CIGNA dropping opioid use by 25%, looking for alternatives.“We don’t want to just take narcotics away from people who need them,” Nemecek emphasized. “What we are going to do with physicians is really expand the availability and access to more comprehensive chronic pain treatment programs…. Treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, which is usually used for depression, is also very effective for chronic pain. Using alternative treatments like massage, chiropractic services where appropriate—we’re going to be working with physicians to give them more alternatives to medications.”
