Prescription Monitoring Databases Ny Vs Nj

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?

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?
