9. The Board of Medicine has addressed’ ithe use of controlled
substances, including opioids, for pain relief when it set out the Standards
for the Use of Controlled Substances for the Treatment of Pain in Chapter
64B8-9.013, Florida Administrative Code. :
10. Chapter 64B8-9.013, F.A.C., reads in part:
(3) Standards. The Board has adopted the following standards
for the use of controlled substances for pain cantrol:
(a) Evaluation of the Patient. A complete medical history ‘and
physical examination must be conducted and documented in
the medical record. The medical record should document the
nature and intensity of the pain, current and ipast treatments
for pain, underlying or coexisting diseases or conditions, the
effect of the pain on physical and psychological function,; and
history of substance abuse, The medical record also should
document the presence of one or more recognized medical
indications for the use of a controlled substance.
(b) Treatment Plan. The written treatment plan should state
objectives that will be used to determine tréatment SUCCESS,
such as pain relief and improved physical and’ psychosocial
function, and should indicate if any further diagnostic
evaluations or other treatments are planned. ‘After treatment
begins, the physician should adjust drug ‘therapy to the
individual medical needs of each patient. Other treatment
modalities or a rehabilitation program may be necessary
depending on the etiology of the pain and theiextent to which
the pain .is associated with physical and psychosocial
impairment.
(c) Informed Consent and Agreement for Treatment. The
physician should discuss the risks and benefi its of the use of
controlled substances with the patient, persons designated by
the patient, or with the patient’s surrogate or guardian if: the
patient is incompetent. The patient should receive prescriptions
from one physician and one pharmacy where’ possible. If’ the

patient is determined to be at high risk for medication abuse or
have a history of substance abuse, the physician should employ
the use of a written agreement between physician and patient
outlining patient responsibilities, including, but not limited to:
1. Urine/serum medication levels screening when requested:
2. Number and frequency of all prescription refills: and
3. Reasons for which drug therapy may be discontinued (i.e.,
violation of agreement). ;
(d) Periodic Review. At reasonable intervals based onthe
individual circumstances of the patient, the physician should
review the course of treatment and any new information about
the etiology of the pain. Continuation or modification of therapy
should depend on the physician’s evaluation ‘of the patient’s
progress. If treatment goals are not being achieved, despite
medication adjustments, the physician should reevaluate the
appropriateness of continued treatment. The physician should
‘monitor patient compliance in medication usage and related
treatment plans.
(e) Consultation. The physician should be willing to refer the
patient as necessary for additional evaluation and treatment in
order to achieve treatment objectives. Special attention should
be given to those pain patients who are at risk for misusing
their medications and those whose living arrangements pose a
risk for medication misuse or diversion. The management of
pain in patients with a history of substance abuse or with a
comorbid psychiatric disorder requires extra care, monitoring,
and documentation, and may require consultation with: or
referral to an expert in the management of such patients.
(f) Medical Records. The physician is required ta keep accurate
and complete records to include, but not be limited to:
1. The medical history and physical examination, including
history of drug abuse or dependence, as appropriate; :
2. Diagnostic, therapeutic, and laboratory results}
3. Evaluations and consultations;
