Chronic & Subacute Pain Opioid Prescription Regulations
Ohio prescribers should be following the new regulations when prescribing opioids for the treatment of chronic pain (lasting 12 weeks or more) and subacute pain (lasting between six and 12 weeks). The specific requirements can be found in Ohio Administrative Code 4731-11. Ohio’s new rules will not take away medication for those in need, but instead strengthen communication between physicians and patients by establishing check points for additional assessment.
