PHARMACY BOARD CAN LET PHYSICIANS CHECK ON PATIENT’S CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE USE

The Board of Pharmacy provides a system to monitor the use of controlled substances in West Virginia. A large number of the drugs being used illegally in West Virginia are prescription medications. 25 states currently have active monitoring programs. These programs are being used to deter and identify many types of illegal activities including prescription forgery and “doctor shopping. “ Pharmacies started reporting prescriptions filled for controlled substances at least weekly in December 2002. This system went online in September 2005. Anyone with a DEA number can register to use the system. Call Michele Hanchosky, an analyst at the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy, at (304) 558-8411and she will provide you with the application necessary to register to use the system. Once registered, you will be able to check any patient you may suspect of improperly using the medication you are pre-scribing. You will know if a patient is obtaining controlled substances from other physicians. This Program can be a great benefit to your practice. Think about registering today.

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Per our rules a physician has a duty to report a licensee in violation of our rules. Every physician should review our rules. Specifi-cally causes for denial, probation, limitation, discipline, suspension or revocation of license. Rule §24-1-18.1.13 “Failed to report to the Board any person whom the licensee knows is in violation of this rule or of provisions of WV Code” “All communications with the Board charging a licensee with violations are conditionally privileged and a person making a com-munication is privileged from liability based upon the communication unless the person makes the communication in bad faith or for a malicious reason.”

West Virginia Medical Professionals Health Program (WVMPHP) In response to legislation signed into law on March 18, 2007, which authorized the WV Board of Medicine and the WV Board of Osteopathy to designate “programs in which physicians, podiatrists and physician assistants may be monitored while they pursue treatment and recovery for alcohol abuse, chemical dependency or major mental illness; enrolling on a voluntary basis without be-ing subject to disciplinary action if the person complies with the goals and restrictions of the program, ” the West Virginia Board of Osteopathy has designated the WVMPHP to fulfill this function. The legislation allows for confidential participation without the full knowledge of either board if treatment is related to self-administration of alcohol and other drugs and there is no evidence of patient harm. Physicians under investigation of either board may also be enrolled in the program while the appropriate board con-tinues to investigate and/or take disciplinary action against the physician. When any physician enters the program, staff will check for any known board action against him or her. The mission of the program is “To protect healthcare consumers through seeking the early identification and rehabilitation of physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals with potentially impairing health concerns including abuse of mood-altering drugs including alcohol, mental illness or physical illness affecting competency so that physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals so afflicted may be treated, monitored and returned to the safe practice of their profession to the benefit of the healthcare profession and the patients we serve.” Joseph Selby, M.D. is chair of the WVMPHP Board and P. Bradley Hall, M.D. is the medical director. You may contact the organi-zation located in Charleston at 304-414-0400 or you may contact Dr. Hall at 304-677-9283. The e-mail address is [email protected].

Drug Enforcement Administration—Schedule II Substances

Per information obtained from the DEA website: “A prescription for a controlled substance must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a practitioner acting in the usual course of professional practice. The practitioner is responsible for the proper prescrib-ing and dispensing of controlled substances. Schedule II controlled substances require a written prescription which must be signed by the practitioner. An oral order is only permitted in an emergency situation. The refilling of a prescription for a Schedule II con-trolled substance is prohibited.” Effective December 19, 2007, an individual practitioner may issue multiple prescriptions authorizing the patient to receive a total of up to a 90-day supply of a Schedule II controlled substance provided certain conditions are met, one of which allows the physician to indicate the earliest date on which a pharmacy may fill each prescription. “In order to expedite the filling of a prescription, a prescriber may transmit a Schedule II prescription to the pharmacy by facsimile, but the original Schedule II prescription must be presented to the pharmacist for review prior to the actual dispensing of the con-trolled substance.” An emergency prescription for a Schedule II Controlled Substance can be called in by the prescriber, but only for the amount needed during the emergency period. The prescriber must provide a written and signed prescription to the pharmacist within 7 days. No controlled substance in Schedules III or IV may be dispensed without a written or oral prescription. These may not be filled or refilled more than 6 months after the date thereof or be refilled more than 5 times after the date of the prescription unless renewed by the practitioner.

Responsible Opioid Prescribing The West Virginia Board of Osteopathy, in collaboration with the Federation of State Medical Boards, is providing this booklet to you to provide guidance with principles of appropriate pain management and effective prevention of narcotic abuse. If you practice in WV and have not received this booklet by the end of May, please contact the Board office.

Collaborative Pharmacy Practice A rule has been proposed jointly by the Boards of Medicine, Osteopathy and Pharmacy that becomes effective July 1, 2008. This pertains to a pharmacist’s scope of practice pursuant to collaborative pharmacy practice agreements, and the selection of up to 5 pilot project sites in the com-munity based pharmacy setting for collaborative pharmacy practice. Criteria needed for a pilot project site are a) designated patient care area for private conversation; b) ability to perform appropriate lab testing and take vital signs; c) capability of keeping comprehensive patient records in a HIPAA compliant manner; d) equipment must be maintained in an OSHA compliant and CLIA waived manner with appropriate records kept; and e) a maximum of one not for profit rural health care clinic may be given preference. For entire rule, visit www.wvdhhr.org/wvbom: Title 11, Series 8. If you are interested in further information or an application, contact the Board office.
