Are you keeping up to date with the latest PDMP regulations? Pharmacies are required to report the dispensing of controlled substances to their state via the prescription drug monitoring program. Each state has specific reporting requirements, including the method of reporting and the timeline to report dispensing controlled substances.
Some states require pharmacies to report when they dispense controlled substances on a monthly, weekly, daily, or real-time basis. Failure to report to the PDMP in a timely manner can carry consequences, including citations and disciplinary action.
