The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement (BNE) is taking important steps to improve practitioner utilization of the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) Registry. This essential public health tool plays a vital role in saving lives, improving patient care, and keeping New York State communities healthy.

In New York State, providers are required by law to consult the PMP Registry before writing a prescription for a controlled substance, with a limited number of exceptions. *
