Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Provides that the Department of Human Services, in consultation with the Advisory Committee, shall adopt rules allowing licensed prescribers or pharmacists who have registered to access the Prescription Monitoring Program to authorize a licensed or non-licensed designee (rather than any designee) employed in that licensed prescriber's office or licensed pharmacist's pharmacy and who has received training in the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act to consult the Prescription Monitoring Program on their behalf. Requires the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program to select 6 members (rather than 5 members), 3 physicians, 2 pharmacists, and one dentist, of the Prescription Monitoring Program Advisory Committee to serve as members of the peer review subcommittee. Effective immediately.

Adds reference to:
720 ILCS 570/318

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. Provides that to ensure the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy of an individual's prescription data reported to the Prescription Monitoring Program received from a retail dispenser under this Act, the data shall be stored and isolated from any other database and remain under the full and complete control of the Prescription Monitoring Program. Provides that as an active step to address the current opioid crisis in this State and to prevent and reduce addiction resulting from a sports injury or an accident, the Prescription Monitoring Program and the Department of Public Health shall coordinate a continuous review of the Prescription Monitoring Program and the Department of Public Health data to determine if a patient may be at risk of opioid addiction. Each patient discharged from any medical facility with an International Classification of Disease, 10th edition code related to a sport or accident injury shall be subject to the data review. If the discharged patient is dispensed a controlled substance, the Prescription Monitoring Program shall alert the patient's prescriber and dispenser as to the addiction risk and urge each to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines or his or her respective profession's treatment guidelines related to the patient's injury. This provision is inoperative on or after January 1, 2024. Provides that membership in the Prescription Monitoring Program Advisory Committee shall consist of 12 members appointed by the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program. The current Advisory Committee shall continue to serve until January 1, 2019. At the first meeting of 2019 lots shall be drawn and 4 members shall serve 3 years, 4 members shall serve 2 years, and 4 members shall serve one year. Members may serve more than one term but no more than 3 terms. Nominations shall be submitted by the professional associations representing prescribers and dispensers. If there are more nominees than membership positions for a prescriber or dispenser category, the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program shall appoint a member or members for each profession from the nominations to serve on the advisory committee. Provides that the Advisory Committee shall select from its members 7 members of the Peer Review Committee (now peer review subcommittee) composed of: (1) 2 physicians; (2) one pharmacist; (3) one dentist; (4) one advanced practice registered nurse; (5) one physician assistant; and (6) one optometrist or ophthalmologist. Provides that the Peer Review Committee member, whose profession is the same as the prescriber or dispenser being reviewed, shall prepare a preliminary report and recommendation for any non-action or action. The Prescription Monitoring Program Clinical Director and staff shall provide the necessary assistance and data as required. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3

Provides that to ensure the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy of an individual's prescription data reported to the Prescription Monitoring Program received from a retail dispenser under this Act, and in order to execute the duties and responsibilities under this Act and rules for disclosure under this Act, the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program or his or her designee shall maintain direct access to all Prescription Monitoring Program data. Any request for Prescription Monitoring Program data from any other department or agency must be approved in writing by the Clinical Director of the Prescription Monitoring Program or his or her designee unless otherwise permitted by law. Prescription Monitoring Program data shall only be disclosed as permitted by law. Increases the membership on the Peer Review Committee from 7 to 11 members. Adds one additional physician, two additional pharmacists, and one veterinarian to the Committee. Effective immediately.
