A BILL to amend and reenact §60A-9-4 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to the Controlled Substances Monitoring Act; and modifying and clarifying the controlled substances that are subject to reporting when a prescription is filled or when the controlled substance is dispensed by a medical services provider.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §60A-9-4 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 9. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES MONITORING.
§60A-9-4. Required information.
(a) Whenever a medical services provider dispenses a controlled substance listed in the provisions of section two hundred six Schedule II, III or IV, as established under the provisions of article two of this chapter or whenever a prescription for the controlled substance is filled by: (i) A pharmacist or pharmacy in this state; (ii) a hospital, or other health care facility, for out-patient use; or (iii) a pharmacy or pharmacist licensed by the Board of Pharmacy, but situated outside this state for delivery to a person residing in this state, the medical services provider, health care facility, pharmacist or pharmacy shall, in a manner prescribed by rules promulgated by the Board of Pharmacy under this article, report the following information, as applicable:
(1) The name, address, pharmacy prescription number and Drug Enforcement Administration controlled substance registration number of the dispensing pharmacy;
(2) The name, address and birth date of the person for whom the prescription is written;
(3) The name, address and Drug Enforcement Administration controlled substances registration number of the practitioner writing the prescription;
(4) The name and national drug code number of the Schedule II, III and IV controlled substance dispensed;
(5) The quantity and dosage of the Schedule II, III and IV controlled substance dispensed;
(6) The date the prescription was filled; and
(7) The number of refills, if any, authorized by the prescription.
(b) The Board of Pharmacy may prescribe by rule promulgated under this article the form to be used in prescribing a Schedule II, III and IV substance if, in the determination of the board, the administration of the requirements of this section would be facilitated.
(c) Products regulated by the provisions of article ten of this chapter shall be subject to reporting pursuant to the provisions of this article to the extent set forth in said article.
(d) Reporting required by this section is not required for a drug administered directly to a patient or a drug dispensed by a practitioner at a facility licensed by the state: Provided, That the quantity dispensed is limited to an amount adequate to treat the patient for a maximum of seventy-two hours with no greater than two seventy-two-hour cycles in any fifteen-day period of time.

________


(NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to correct the reference in subsection (a) to the Code provisions identifying the controlled substances subject to reporting in the monitoring database. The current language in subsection (a) references only Schedule II of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, instead of Schedules II, III and IV as specified in other sections of this article. The amended language makes this reference consistent with the other provisions.

Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.)
