Prescribing Issues

Professionals in pain management often have special challenges and the Academy is here to help. Below are several documents which will aid professionals in their practice-specific challenges.

This document is very helpful for documenting the authenticity of prospective patients. Unlike typical opioid agreements this Treatment Attestation form necessitates patients to make formal declarations about the truthfulness of information provided, willingness to work with the prescribing practitioner, and establishes their intent to obtain treatment only for personal health matters.

Prescribers often need to dispose of controlled medications. This short article from the KY Board of Medical Licensure reviews best practices for disposing of returned medications from patients, office stocked medications and pharmaceutical samples. Use of a tracking document, having consistent policies, and adhering to DEA and EPA regulations are emphasized in the article. Contact numbers are provided through a web link to DEA registered reverse distributors who remove controlled substances from practitioners' offices for incineration.
