Montana Board's Prescription Drug Registry Now Accepting Data from Pharmacies

Topics: Controlled substances and Prescription monitoring program

Beginning on March 12, 2012, Montana’s Prescription Drug Registry, operated by the Montana Board of Pharmacy, began accepting data from pharmacies. Effective April 12, 2012, pharmacies are required to report controlled substances dispensing on a weekly basis, and are also required to provide historical data going back to July 1, 2011.

The Board expects the registry to be available for query (searching) within the next two months. More information about the Montana Prescription Drug Registry is available on the Board’s Web site.
