New York A05125 mandates that health care professionals inquire about a patient's opioid history when completing an allergy checklist or form.

New York A05125 amends the public health law by adding a new section requiring health care professionals to inquire about a patient's opioid history when they require the completion of an allergy checklist or form before providing care. This information is intended to help health care professionals make informed diagnostic and treatment decisions to prevent opioid relapse. The provision does not replace the requirement to consult the prescription monitoring program. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law, with necessary rules and regulations to be completed by that date.
