Permits patients to indicate that they should not be prescribed opiates and certain other controlled substances in prescription monitoring program information.

This bill (A3030) allows New Jersey patients to request that their prescription monitoring profile include a "do not prescribe" indicator for opioids and other controlled substances with high addiction potential. Patients can add or remove this indicator at their request through a process established by the Division of Consumer Affairs. The indicator would appear in the state's prescription monitoring system only when actively requested by the patient, helping healthcare providers avoid prescribing these medications. The bill also requires the division to create a method for incapacitated patients to communicate this preference and develop education for healthcare providers about the new option.
