Description

Thank you for your interest in the CAS Webinar –
Opioid Epidemic – Who is Responsible?

This event has reached capacity and is now closed for registration.
Thank you.


PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE 10 AM ET THE DAY OF THE WEBINAR


In June 2019 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published provisional estimates of 32,159 deaths in 2018 from synthetic opioids, a slight decline from 2017. Most of those will be from illicit fentanyl and analogues (not prescription opioids) as the opioid epidemic continues to evolve. In this session experts in the insurance and healthcare industries share their insights into the cause of this epidemic, provide an update on recent improvements, and prognosticate on where we are headed.

Intended Audience:
This webinar will be of interest to all CAS members.
