More Typical Corporate Algorithmic Idiocy. They assume that Naloxone prescription correlates with drug use which correlates with high death rates, therefor deny coverage. Yet this is literally a statewide prescription for EVERYONE AND ANYONE, but they ignore that fact, aaand collateral damage ensues. Same as software and insurance companies assuming that high braking and cornering forces are automatically signs of bad driving when they are literally the hallmark of highly trained/skilled drivers (the difference is that the highly skilled drivers know where is the limit of adhesion and rarely exceed it while the ignorant teenager will often sail right past the limit of adhesion and slide into a tree or something). Same as Google or Amazon deciding to ban all of a user's accounts for some reason that triggers some algorithm that maybe sometimes correctly identifies fraud or system abuse, but creates huge collateral damage when wrong. It is pretty obvious that managers deploying technology either don't know or don't care about such consequences - they are externalizing their failures on the general population. I don't know how to fix this sort of thing short of legally requiring companies to provide reasonable recourse and imposing costs if they don't (e.g., the damaged party can demand prompt & effective recourse and if they don't get it can easily sure and collect damages.)
