[MCOH-EH] Accessing state PMP for safety sensitive job applicants and DOTs

[Teichman, Ron F]

True, but if they don’t disclose we often won’t know. And if they test positive and then produce a prescription it is difficult to ensure that there are not more than one.

Nor in NE or TX. It’s actually more common to restrict it to treating providers, mostly for privacy reasons. If a “client-patient” fails to disclose use of an opioid to an examiner during an exam, the onus is on that client…at least, it should be.

Also cannot be accessed for non-patient-care use in MN. Nor last I checked in TN.

Hi all,

My newly adopted state of Arizona has a Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program, but restricts access to treating providers and dispensing pharmacists, thus making it illegal for occupational health providers to access the information with regards to post-offer pre-placement exams, fit-for-duty exams, return to work exams, firefighter and other public safety exams, and DOT exams. I am trying to ascertain whether other states with similar programs/registries allow access for the protection of public safety. Obviously nobody wants providers, nurses, pharmacists, residents, law enforcement, truck drivers and others working in safety sensitive positions to be working while impaired, but this important resource is closed to providers in AZ.

TIA for whatever information you can share,
Ron
