Indiana Pain Warriors Asked to Share Experience with Forced Medication Switches

Dear U.S. Pain Foundation volunteers,

U.S. Pain Foundation belongs to the Indiana Stable Patient Protection Coalition. Together, we oppose the unfair practice called non-medical switching, or NMS. NMS occurs when insurance companies make changes to coverage that ultimately force patients to switch medication.

These coverage changes take place during the plan year, long after open enrollment. NMS locks consumers into a plan that no longer meets their needs–all for the profit of insurers.

If you believe you have been a victim of non-medical switching, we encourage you to share your experiences by taking this survey.

We, along with 12 patient and provider groups which make up the state-based coalition share the same goal: make stakeholders aware of the need to change NMS practices. In the coming months, we plan to propose a common-sense bill that will eliminate non-medical switching by private health plans. The survey data will be used to better inform legislators about the impact of NMS.

Thank you for your interest in helping to end this unfair and dangerous practice.

With gratitude,

Shaina Smith
Director of State Advocacy & Alliance Development
