MI HB5668

Licensed prescribers holding a controlled substances license may administer or dispense schedules 2-5 controlled substances without a separate controlled substances license for those activities.

Beginning March 31, 2018, prescribers must establish a bona fide prescriber-patient relationship before prescribing schedules 2-5 controlled substances, which requires reviewing medical records, conducting a full assessment, and maintaining treatment records.

Beginning June 1, 2018, prescribers must obtain and review a patient report from Michigan's electronic monitoring system before prescribing controlled substances in quantities exceeding a 3-day supply, with exceptions for hospital/surgical facility dispensing, veterinary care, and hospice patients.

Beginning June 1, 2018, prescribers must register with the electronic monitoring system for schedule 2-5 controlled substances before prescribing or dispensing to any patient.

Prescribers who dispense controlled substances must maintain separate records for at least 5 years, including acquisition invoices, dispensing logs, and records of all dispositions of controlled substances.
