QPP Measure #MOA 7

Appropriate controlled substance prescribing (definitive diagnosis(es)) via adherence to Controlled Substance Agreements (CSA) or (OA's) with corrective action taken for pain and/or substance use disorder patients when violations occur.

Successful Reporting: a. Documentation of definitive pathology (e.g., imaging, surgical report, serology, provider referral for addiction/substance use disorder, etc.) to warrant chronic pain and/or buprenorphine/naloxone medication chronically. b. Provider must document signing of a Controlled Substance (CSA) or Opiate Agreement (OA) if more than two (2) Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions are provided to a patient in a 12-month period. Understandably, prescriptions may occur in the prior reporting year as well as in the current reporting year. c. For all patients violating existing CSA/OA, such violations are documented with correlative adjustments in treatment (e.g.: shorter duration prescriptions (2 week to 4 week), increased frequency of urine drug screens (quarterly to monthly), random pill counts, more frequent visits, etc.). Measure explanation: Chronic Pain medication prescribed (prescribed for greater than one week or more than twice a year) only after a diagnosis and medical or surgical plan has been implemented. CSA or OA followed and, if actionable violation (i.e.: Urine Drug Screen inappropriate, pill counts off, multiple providers prescribing, polypharmacy, etc.) corrective action taken (i.e.: probation, escalated use of Urine Drug Screens, shorter prescriptions intervals, termination of controlled prescribing or similar actions) as result of the CSA/OA violation.
