30 Miss. Code. R. 2640-1.3
Every licensee who prescribes, administers or dispenses any controlled substance within Mississippi or who proposes to engage in the prescribing, administering or dispensing of any controlled substance within Mississippi must be registered with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in compliance with Title 21 CFR Part 1301 Food and Drugs.
Each individual who is licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure and has prescriptive authority must be registered with the Mississippi Prescription Monitoring Program (MPMP). Every licensee who provides medical care in a pain management practice as defined in Rule 1.2(K) must review the MPMP at each patient encounter in which a prescription for a controlled substance is issued. Every licensee, regardless of practice specialty, must review the MPMP at each patient encounter in which an opioid is prescribed for acute and/or chronic non-cancerous/non-terminal pain. Those licensees whose practice is not a pain management practice as defined previously must actively utilize the MPMP upon initial contact with new patients and at least every three (3) months thereafter on any and all patients who are prescribed, administered, or dispensed controlled substances other than opioids. Licensees who issue a prescription for Lomotil, Lyrica, Testosterone, Pseudoephedrine, or Amphetamines prescribed to pediatric patients under the age of sixteen (16) for the treatment of ADHD, are not required in that instance to utilize the MPMP as stated herein.
Reports generated on such patients should span the length of time from the previous review of the MPMP so that adequate information is obtained to determine patient compliance with treatment. Documentation, such as a copy of the report itself and/or reflection in the chart dictation and/or notes, must be kept within the patient's record and made available for inspection upon request. As allowed by the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy and the MPMP, properly registered designees of the licensee may run/obtain the report for the licensee's review as required herein.
Utilization of the MPMP as stated herein is not required when treating inpatient; however, upon discharge from said inpatient setting with a prescription for a controlled substance, the MPMP must be reviewed as required herein.
Pursuant to authority granted in Mississippi Code, Section 41-29-125, the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure hereby adopts, in lieu of a separate registration with the Board, the registration with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as required in the above paragraph. In the event, however, a licensee has had limitations or other restrictions placed upon his or her license wherein he or she is prohibited from ordering, dispensing, or prescribing controlled substances in any schedule, said licensee shall be prohibited from registering with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for a Uniform Controlled Substances Registration Certificate without first being expressly authorized to do so by order of the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure.
Persons registered to prescribe, administer, dispense or conduct research with controlled substances may order, possess, prescribe, administer, dispense or conduct research with those substances to the extent authorized by their registration and in conformity with the other provisions of these rules and in conformity with provisions of the Mississippi Uniform Controlled Substances Law, Mississippi Code Section 41-29-101 et seq.
The registration requirement set forth in these rules does not apply to the distribution and manufacture of controlled substances. Any licensee who engages in the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances or legend drugs must register with the Mississippi State Board of Pharmacy pursuant to Mississippi Code, Section 73-21-105 and will be subject to all applicable federal statutes and regulations controlling such practices. For the purposes herein, "distribute" means the delivery of a drug other than by administering, prescribing or dispensing. The word "manufacture" has the same meaning as set forth in Mississippi Code, Section 41-29-105(q).
