Prescribing. Controlled Substance Policy/Philosophy: Conservative. Ultimately at discretion of provider. Injectables: On site.
Prescribing. There was a provision in MCDCD49 allowing an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who is certified in psychiatric mental health by a national certifying organization to prescribe atypical antipsychotics and antidepressant drugs without going through prior authorization. This provision already exists for psychiatrists. Given the existing high rate of prescribing for “preferred” agents, we do not anticipate a material shift in volume to more expensive agents.
Prescribing. Appropriately trained prescribers will undertake prescribing for patients in areas of agreed clinical need.
Prescribing. Resident shall use the Saint Xxxxx XXX number with appropriate personal identifiers when prescribing pharmaceuticals, in accordance with Saint Xxxxx policy.
Prescribing. The aim is to have prescribing as part of many roles where it is deemed beneficial to patients / clients and service. Prescribing will be a skill for many staff and will in the majority of cases be one element of the role of the Advanced Practitioner. On its own prescribing does not make a role an Advanced Practitioner role.

Prescribing. I understand and agree that Central Surgery do not believe in prescribing benzodiazepines (such as temazepam, nitrazepam, diazepam and Z drugs) unless for short term use. Central Surgery cannot guarantee that they will issue opiates or benzos- and especially not on the day I register. They have a policy on general withdrawal of these unless I am on a shared care scheme.

A portion of the MMC population is enrolled in the Ohio CPC program, and the MCPs may be required to pay gain sharing payments to participating providers. To receive a gain sharing payment, a provider would need to achieve a cost of care level lower than historical levels. For this reason, no adjustment is applied in the CY 2019 rate setting process for CPC, as gain sharing payments are assumed to be offset by the cost of care savings achieved by the CPC providers. ◾ Dental Program Changes. Effective July 1, 2018, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) was included as a covered dental benefit in the MMC program for all ages. In addition, effective January 1, 2018, coverage for tobacco cessation and counseling services are a covered dental benefit. Based on information provided by ODM, we estimated coverage of SDF and tobacco cessation to be budget neutral.
