SBAR: Advanced Practice Providers and Schedule II Medication Prescriptions Situation: Several retail pharmacies in the Austin metro area are not honoring CII prescriptions written by APRNs or PAs on or after October 6, 2014. A “mid-level” practitioner can only prescribe a CII controlled substance to treat a patient in a hospital or hospice setting in Texas. This has been confirmed with the Board of Pharmacy that this rules out “discharge” prescriptions for CII controlled substances. Background: Hydrocodone Combination Products (HCPs) have been moved from Schedule III controlled substances to the more-restrictive Schedule II, effective on Oct. 6, 2014. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s rescheduling of HCPs as Schedule II Controlled Substances will increase the restrictions on prescribing and dispensing practices for HCPs. Assessment: Different organizations (DEA, Pharmacy Board, Pharmacies, TMB, etc.) are interpreting the prescriptive authority related to Schedule II drugs differently. The following is the Texas Pharmacy Boards interpretation: In Texas, a mid-level prescriber cannot prescribe a CII controlled substance, but with two exceptions: 1) For administration in a hospital or hospice unit.

Recommendation: Until the Texas Medical, Pharmacy, and Nursing Boards provide a joint statement that it is acceptable for advanced practice providers to write Schedule II “discharge” prescriptions, Seton’s mid-level prescribers should not send patients home with CII prescriptions, as they may not be able to get them filled. Have a privileged Seton Medical Staff member write these CII discharge prescriptions on their DPS official prescription pad. QUESTIONS Q: Which controlled substance classifications changed?
