Prescription Monitoring Databases Ny Vs Nj
(Newest replies first)

Let's say you receive and fill a prescription in NY and it is entered into the Prescription Monitoring Program. Then later in the month you see a doctor in NJ who gives you a similar prescription and you fill it in NJ. Do the doctor & pharmacist in NJ have access to the Prescribing Monitoring Program in NY?

Thank you. I have an upcoming surgery in NJ and was wondering how they would manage my post surgical pain.
Yes, they do, so does the pharmacy, the DEA and the FDA, it is a federal prescription monitoring program.
If the prescriptions aren't identical, however, that would most likely not raise a flag, unless the patient in question had lied to the doctors to try to get more pain medications, or other controlled substances.
If you were visiting a different location and had a problem, which required seeing a doctor, fully disclosed what you were taking and they decided to change a medication, or raise your dosage, that's generally acceptable. (Unless you have a contract with your regular doctor agreeing not to do so.)
But, if you saw a new doctor and did not tell them what you were currently taking, in order to illicitly get them to prescribe more of what you are already taking, or a different dosage, then it would be considered fraudulent.
Is there anything else I can help with?
