Answer:
The following are the guidelines in Louisiana for each prescription that is considered a drug of concern under the Prescription Monitoring Program:
Reporting Requirements Data collected from the dispensers shall include the following information for each Schedule II, III, IV and V prescription and any drugs of concern, which are identified by LAC: 46.29.2901:
• The dispenser’s DEA number
• The name of the patient for whom the controlled substance is being dispensed, and the patient’s:
− Full address, including city, state, and zip code
− State government issued drivers license number or ID number
− Date of birth
• The date the prescription was written
• The date the prescription was filled
• The prescription number
• Whether the prescription is new or a refill
• Metric quantity of the dispensed drug
• Estimated days supply of dispensed drug, if provided to the dispenser
• National Drug Code of dispensed drug
• Prescriber’s DEA number or an NPI number must be used when a prescriber without a DEA registration prescribes a “drug of concern”
