Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The intent of the New Mexico board of osteopathic medicine

				enforcement administration registration and a New Mexico controlled substance
				registration shall register with the board of pharmacy to become a regular
				participant in PMP inquiry and reporting.

				from the state's prescription monitoring program, the practitioner is solely
				responsible for reviewing the prescription monitoring report and documenting
				the receipt and review of a report in the patient's medical record.
C. Before a practitioner prescribes or
				dispenses for the first time, a controlled substance in schedule II, III, IV,
				or V to a patient for a period greater than four days, or if there is a gap in
				prescribing the controlled substance for 30 days or more, the practitioner
				shall review a prescription monitoring report for the patient for the preceding
				12 months. When available, the practitioner shall review similar reports from
				adjacent states. The practitioner shall document the receipt and review of such
				reports in the patient's medical record.
D. A prescription monitoring report shall be
				reviewed a minimum of once every three months during the continuous use of a
				controlled substance in schedule II, III, IV or V for each patient. The
				practitioner shall document the review of these reports in the patient's
				medical record. Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a
				practitioner from reviewing prescription monitoring reports with greater
				frequency than that required by this section.
E. A practitioner does not have to obtain and
				review a prescription monitoring report before prescribing, ordering, or
				dispensing a controlled substance in schedule II, III, IV or V:
(1) for a period of four days or less;
				or
(2) to a patient in a nursing
				facility; or
(3) to a patient in
				hospice care.

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
This is a formal preliminary disciplinary action that
				  immediately suspends a licensee's right to practice osteopathic medicine. The
				  summary suspension remains in effect until a further order of the board is
				  entered. The licensee has an opportunity for a full hearing before the board
				  regarding the summary suspension.

				The board may summarily suspend or restrict a license issued by the board
				without hearing, simultaneously with, or at any time after, the issuance of a
				notice of contemplated action and the initiation of proceedings for a hearing
				provided for under the Uniform Licensing Act, if the board finds that evidence
				in its possession indicates that the licensee:
(1) poses a clear and immediate danger to the
				public health and safety if the licensee continues to practice;
(2) has been adjudged mentally incompetent by
				a final order or adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(3) has pled guilty to or been found guilty
				of any offense related to their practice or for any violent criminal offense in

New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 16 - OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSING › Chapter 17 - OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY PRACTITIONERS › Part 5 - REVOCATION OR REFUSAL OF LICENSURE › Section 16.17.5.10 - PRESCRIPTION MONITORING PROGRAM (PMP) REQUIREMENTS

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The intent of the New Mexico board of osteopathic medicine
				  in requiring participation in the PMP is to assist practitioners in balancing
				  the safe use of controlled substances with the need to impede harmful and
				  illegal activities involving these pharmaceuticals.
A. Any practitioner who holds a federal drug
				enforcement administration registration and a New Mexico controlled substance
				registration shall register with the board of pharmacy to become a regular
				participant in PMP inquiry and reporting.
B. A practitioner may authorize delegate(s)
				to access the prescription monitoring report consistent with board of pharmacy
				regulation 16.19.29 NMAC. While a practitioner's delegate may obtain a report
				from the state's prescription monitoring program, the practitioner is solely
				responsible for reviewing the prescription monitoring report and documenting
				the receipt and review of a report in the patient's medical record.
C. Before a practitioner prescribes or
				dispenses for the first time, a controlled substance in Schedule II, III, IV,
				or V to a patient for a period greater than four days, or if there is a gap in
				prescribing the controlled substance for 30 days or more, the practitioner
				shall review a prescription monitoring report for the patient for the preceding
				12 months. When available, the practitioner shall review similar reports from
				adjacent states. The practitioner shall document the receipt and review of such
				reports in the patient's medical record.
D. A prescription monitoring report shall be
				reviewed a minimum of once every three months during the continuous use of a
				controlled substance in Schedule II, III, IV or V for each patient. The
				practitioner shall document the review of these reports in the patient's
				medical record. Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a
				practitioner from reviewing prescription monitoring reports with greater
				frequency than that required by this section.
E. A practitioner does not have to obtain and
				review a prescription monitoring report before prescribing, ordering, or
				dispensing a controlled substance in Schedule II, III, IV or V:
(1) for a period of four days or less;
				or
(2) to a patient in a nursing
				facility; or
(3) to a patient in
				hospice care.

				treatment of pain, an understanding of the pharmacology and risks of controlled
				substances, a basic awareness of the problems of abuse, addiction and
				diversion, and awareness of state and federal regulations for the prescription
				of controlled substances. All such courses are subject to board approval.
				Practitioners who have taken continuing education hours in these educational
				elements in the two years prior to July 1, 2014 may apply those hours toward
				the required two continuing education hours described in this
				subsection.

				July 1, 2014 triennial renewal date, as part of the 75 continuing medical
				education hours required during each triennial renewal cycle, all New Mexico
				osteopathic board physician licensees, who hold a federal drug enforcement
				administration registration and license to prescribe opioids, shall be required
				to complete and submit six continuing education hours. Appropriate courses
				shall include all of the educational elements described in Subsection A of this
				section. All such courses are subject to board approval. These hours may be
				earned at any time during the three-year period immediately preceding the
				triennial renewal date. The two continuing medical education hours completed
				prior to July 1, 2014, as defined in Subsection A above, may be included as
				part of the required continuing medical education hours in pain
				management.
C. All New Mexico board
				of osteopathic medicine licensees, whether or not the New Mexico license is
				their first license, who hold a federal drug enforcement administration
				registration and license shall complete two continuing medical education hours
				in pain management during the first year of licensure. These two continuing
				medical education hours completed prior to the first renewal may be included as
