Verify Opioid Treatment Agreement

Querying of prescription drug monitoring programs occurs within the ePrescribing workflow; however, this feature requires that you enable Electronic Prescribing Controlled Substances (EPCS). For more information on enabling EPCS, go to the support community and search for EPCS.

For at least one unique patient for whom a Schedule II opioid was electronically prescribed by the MIPS-eligible clinician using a certified EHR during the performance period—if the total duration of the patient’s Schedule II opioid prescriptions is at least 30 cumulative days within a 6-month look-back period—the MIPS-eligible clinician seeks to identify the existence of a signed opioid treatment agreement and incorporates it into the patient’s electronic health record using a certified EHR.
