Prescription drug coverage
Many of the medications you need to treat your workplace injury are provided through SAIF at no charge to you, and you can be reimbursed for certain injury-related expenses.
First Fill
Injured workers are eligible for the First Fill pharmacy program, which provides a limited number of cost-effective prescription drugs for work-related injuries or illnesses until a decision has been made on their claim.
Your pharmacy bills will be handled through the Oregon Prescription Drug Program (OPDP) and paid by SAIF, even if your claim is later denied. There will be no out-of-pocket costs to you or to the policyholder for the prescriptions, unless a medication not covered by First Fill is prescribed.
