HB-1 INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
REGARDING CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

In accordance with a new state law your physician is now required to take additional steps before prescribing some controlled substances. Guidelines in this state have been set up by the Kentucky Board of Licensure to assure safety and compliance with these state regulations. This applies to both long term and intermittent treatment.

A controlled substance has the potential to become habit forming and could have the potential to be addicting. Overdoses can be lethal. Some examples of the more commonly prescribed controlled substances are: Percocet, Xanax, and Ambien. For a full list see: www.kbml.ky.gov.

In order to prescribe a controlled substance the physician must run a KASPER report on the patient along with other administrative and treatment requirements. KASPER stands for Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting System. It is an electronic system used to monitor controlled substances prescribed by Kentucky physicians and dispensed in Kentucky pharmacies.

In order to receive continued treatment with these medications the patient must have an appointment and an exam every 90 days.

If you have questions as to the nature of these requirements, please see: www.kbml.ky.gov.
If you are concerned that these regulations will negatively affect your medical care,
please call your local state representative to voice your concern.
