Prescription Drug Monitoring

Prescription Drug Monitoring Program

In 2021, this law passed which put an end to Missouri being the only state in the nation without a prescription drug monitoring program.

  • The bill authorizes the creation of a Joint Oversight Task Force for Prescription Drug Monitoring which will include a dentist from the Missouri Dental Board (MDB).
  • Dr. William Kane was elected by the MDB to serve in this role. This group will oversee the creation of a centralized prescription drug database. 
  • Special Note: St. Louis County already has a PDMP in place with participating neighboring counties. Learn more.
  • Additional Resources: Issue 5, 2021 Focus article

We will continue to provide updates and implications for dentists as the work of the Task Force progresses.
