Currently, collaborative practice arrangements may delegate to a physician assistant the authority to administer, dispense, or prescribe controlled substances listed in Schedules III, IV, and V of Section 195.017, RSMo, and Schedule II - hydrocodone. Schedule III narcotic controlled substances and Schedule II - hydrocodone prescriptions must be limited to a 120-hour supply without refill. Such authority must be listed on the collaborating physician form on file with the State Board of Healing Arts.
This bill adds Schedule II - oxycodone to the list of controlled substances the physician assistant can administer, dispense, or prescribe if the collaborating physician authorizes the physician assistant to do so. The Schedule II - oxycodone must be limited to an inpatient setting or, in the case of an outpatient setting, a supply for up to five days following the date of discharge from the hospital without a refill.
