The New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners has proposed to amend regulations under NJAC 13:35-7 to require practitioners to identify in advance psychological co-morbidities that affect prescribing and overall treatment decisions and assess whether continued opioid therapy is working to address a patient’s treatment needs. The rule also would address treatment planning, medical records, and management of chronic pain.
