BILL NUMBER: S6091 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to limiting the initial prescription of a controlled substance for the alleviation of acute pain to between a three to ten day supply; and to amend the insurance law, in relation to coverage of such prescriptions PURPOSE : This bill would limit the number of schedule II or III controlled substance pain pills initially prescribed to someone suffering from acute pain. This serves two important purposes: (1) it encourages patients whose acute pain lasts longer than initially expected to follow up with a doctor, and (2) it lessens the number of pills left in medicine cabinets and available for diversion. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of the bill adds Public Health Law Sec. 3331(5)(b) and (c). Subsection (b) permits authorized practitioners, within the scope of their professional opinion or discretion, to dispense between three and ten days of any schedule II or III controlled substance to a patient suffering from acute pain. Subsection (c) provides a definition of acute pain. The term encompasses accidental and intentional pain lasting only a short or finite period of time. The subsection expressly excludes chronic pain, cancer pain, or palliative
