Patient Name(Required)
Please read carefully, as this is a legal document. At the time of your visit:
  1. Each patient’s history will be reviewed by the provider. When it is identified that a patient is already on a controlled substance or asks for a controlled substance during the visit; the EFORCSE, Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program/tracking report will be pulled from the database and individually reviewed.
  2. A new patient with a history of a controlled substance will have their urine tested on the first appointment for a baseline drug screening. This will be reviewed with the patient during their appointment.
  3. If it is decided by the provider to issue any Rx for a controlled substance on the next appointment, the patient will either be required to take a saliva drug swab or a urine sample for analysis of compliance.
  4. State law now requires that a patient's urine is tested a minimum of eight times annually. This means that the testing can be done at any follow up appointment, at the time of refill, or randomly,as deemed appropriate by the provider.
  5. During each follow up appointment, the patient on Schedule II or III medications must bring the bottle and any medication remaining to the visit.
  6. Random pill counts and urine drug screening may be done to monitor compliance; patients will have four hours from the time of notification to arrive at the office with their medication.
  7. We are not a chronic pain management center, and as such, we will not dispense large amounts of pain medications. If you have chronic pain, you will be referred to pain management.
  8. Patients will read and comply with non opioid pain management options included in OPIOID REMS.
  9. Refusal to complete any part of this policy can result in the cessation of the medications and/or termination from the practice.
