BILL NUMBER: S7684 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to providing pharmacies access to New York's prescription drug monitoring program resources PURPOSE : To allow pharmacies to request access to certain New York's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program data, in order to determine a prescription's authenticity, whether it was already filled by another pharmacy or physician, and whether the patient has engaged in "doctor shopping". New York's physicians already have this ability. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1. Allows an exemption for pharmacies. EXISTING LAW : Pharmacies are forbidden access to routine information collected by the Department of Health's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. This data is currently available only to practitioners, the Department of Health, Medicaid, the Insurance Department and law enforcement pursuant to a judicial subpoena. This information is treated with the most serious care and respect for personal privacy.
