HB 2572 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Health Care - As enacted, requires the department of health to make available to the public on its website all inspection criteria required for compliance by pain management clinics; makes other changes relative to pain management. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.

HB 2572 requires Tennessee's Department of Health to publish on its website the inspection criteria pain management clinics must follow for compliance. It also mandates that the Department publicly post the criteria used to identify "high-risk" prescribers (those with high patient overdose rates) and establishes a process for removing this designation after prescribers complete required training. The bill exempts pain management specialists from the high-risk prescriber identification process and changes clinic reporting requirements from weekly to quarterly. These provisions increase transparency for clinics and prescribers while updating regulatory procedures.
