For legislation relative to the prescription monitoring program. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend the existing prescription monitoring program in Massachusetts. It would require the Department of Public Health to establish a process to include information about the administration of opioid maintenance treatment (such as medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder) in the prescription monitoring program, in a way that does not conflict with privacy rules. Additionally, the bill would require opioid treatment programs to present a consent form to individuals entering treatment, allowing them to consent to the release of their opioid maintenance treatment information through the prescription monitoring program, in order to improve coordination of care.
