SB2279 amends Tennessee pain management regulations, including identifying high-risk prescribers and altering reporting frequencies.
SB2279 modifies Tennessee's pain management regulations by requiring the Department of Health to identify high-risk prescribers annually based on clinical outcomes, such as patient overdoses. The bill also changes the frequency of reporting from weekly to quarterly and allows pain management specialists to temporarily cover for medical directors without being physically present. Additionally, it mandates the department to make inspection criteria for pain management clinics publicly available and authorizes the commissioner to issue advisory private letter rulings to affected licensees.
