Iowa Admin. Code r. 441-79.17 - Requirements for prescribing controlled substances
(1)
Review of Iowa prescription
monitoring program database. A prescribing practitioner, as defined in
Iowa Code section
124.550, or the
prescribing practitioner's designated agent, shall review patient information
in the Iowa prescription monitoring program (PMP) database prior to issuing a
prescription for a controlled substance as defined in
42
U.S.C. 1396w-3a, inclusive of Schedules II,
III and IV, unless the patient is receiving inpatient hospice care or long-term
residential facility care. Review shall be conducted in accordance with all
requirements under the prescribing practitioner's specific professional
licensing authority.
(2)
Documentation. The prescribing practitioner shall include
documentation in the patient file to demonstrate compliance with subrule
79.17(1). Subject to the requirements under Iowa Code chapter 124, subchapter
VI, if the prescribing practitioner is not able to conduct a review of the PMP
database despite a good-faith effort, the prescribing practitioner must
document in the patient file such good-faith effort, including the reasons why
the prescribing practitioner was not able to conduct the review. The
prescribing practitioner shall submit such documentation to the Iowa Medicaid
program upon request.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 124 and 249A.
