Missouri will utilize ASAP version 4.2 for the statewide PDMP.
The purpose of a PDMP is to reduce abuse and misuse of controlled substances such as opioids by making dispensation information for such substances available to prescribers, dispensers, and health care providers.
Yes, all other states have legislation for similar systems.
PDMPs are created according to laws passed in each state. Missouri’s PDMP is being developed in accordance with Missouri law (Section 195.600, RSMo).
By making dispensation information available, PDMPs can help prescribers, dispensers, and health care providers identify patients who may be misusing prescription opioids or other controlled substances and who may be at risk for overdose.
When a pharmacy dispenses a schedule II, III or IV controlled substance, it submits information about the dispensation to the PDMP. The PDMP makes the information available for practitioners and pharmacists to view when they query the system. Information in the PDMP provides a more complete view of a patient’s prescription history and aids prescribers and dispensers in their decision-making processes.
Beginning on August 28, 2023, an individual’s dispensation information will be maintained for a maximum of three years from the date of dispensation. After this three year period, the information will be deleted from the program.
Missouri law does not mandate providers to check the PDMP before writing or dispensing a prescription. However, the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act requires the prescriber to check the PDMP prior to prescribing a controlled substance (Schedule II, Schedule III, or Schedule IV) to a MO HealthNet participant. Healthcare providers are strongly encouraged to utilize the PDMP before finalizing prescription decisions for patients.
Missouri’s PDMP law (Section 195.600, RSMo) requires the following information to be submitted to the PDMP. No information can be added to this list without a change to the PDMP law.

2. The date of the dispensation;
3. The following, if there is a prescription:

6. The patient’s identification number including, but not limited to, any one of the following:
(a) The patient’s driver’s license number;
(b) The patient’s government-issued identification number; or
(c) The patient’s insurance cardholder identification number; and
7. The patient’s name, address, and date of birth.
