PMP Mandatory Lookup Compliance in Integrated EHRs

In some integrated pharmacy management systems, opening a patient record displays only a patient score rather than the full PMP report. Viewing the patient score alone does not satisfy the mandatory PMP lookup requirement. Visit the PMP integration compliance page to learn more and view an infographic of the full lookup process.

Texas Prescription Monitoring Program

Texas Prescription Monitoring Program


The Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) collects and monitors prescription data for all Schedule II, III, IV, and V Controlled Substances (CS) dispensed by a pharmacy in Texas or to a Texas resident from a pharmacy located in another state.  The PMP also provides a database for monitoring patient prescription history for practitioners and the ordering of Texas Schedule II Official Prescription Forms.  Find  more information about the PMP .

All Texas-licensed pharmacies are required to report all dispensed controlled substances records to the Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) no later than the next business day after the prescription is filled.  The reporting requirement applies to all Schedule II, III, IV, and V controlled substances.

Since March 1, 2020, pharmacists and prescribers (other than a veterinarian) are required to check the patient’s PMP history before dispensing or prescribing opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or carisoprodol. 

Pharmacists and prescribers are encouraged to check the PMP to help eliminate duplicate and overprescribing of controlled substances, as well as to obtain critical controlled substance history information.
