Summary

Description

This image is excerpted from a U.S. GAO report: <a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-20-120" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.gao.gov/products/GAO-20-120</a>

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY: Action Needed to Help Agency Staff Understand and Follow Policies Related to Prescription Opioid Misuse

Note: The rate of opioid prescriptions refers to the number of opioid prescriptions dispensed by retail pharmacies per 100 people in a county, and the rate of Disability Insurance (DI) claims refers to the number of DI claims per 1,000 people in a county. Counties with the highest rates of opioid prescriptions and/or DI claims refer to those in the top third of the statistical distribution for each rate. The rates of DI claims do not include DI/Supplemental Security Income (SSI) concurrent claims. We analyzed DI/SSI concurrent claims in a separate analysis and generally observed similar results.

ᵃWe had data available on both rates of opioid prescriptions and DI claims for 2,953 out of 3,142 counties nationwide in 2017 (i.e., we did not have data for 189 counties).
