Opioid Prescribing - An AHLA 50 State Survey with Summaries and Links

Published by the American Health Law Association (AHLA), Opioid Prescribing - An AHLA 50 State Survey with Summaries and Links is an indispensable resource for anyone concerned with state opioid prescribing requirements.

This state law survey provides descriptions of and detailed references to state authority with respect to:

• Prescription drug monitoring requirements;
• Opioid-related licensure, disciplinary, and other requirements for physicians, physician assistants, and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), including nurse practitioners (NPs) and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs);
• Related state Medicaid requirements;
• Related state workers’ compensation requirements; and
• Additional state-level initiatives and resources designed to combat the opioid crisis.

“This resource provides an excellent summary of the opioid-prescribing laws across the country on a state-by-state basis. We’re unaware of any other publication covering the same material in a similar manner,” comments Kathryn E. Hickner, Chair, AHLA Physician Organizations Practice Group, and Partner, Kohrman Jackson & Krantz LLP. “We’ve been so delighted by the positive feedback we have received from attorneys and other health law professionals who have used this book in their daily practices to better serve their clients.”
