What documentation is required to be submitted for continued coverage of opioids to treat chronic, noncancer pain?

  In addition to the general documentation required by the department or self-insurer, the attending physician must submit the following information at least every sixty days when treating with opioids:

     • Documentation of drug screenings, consultations, and all other treatment trials;

     • Documentation of outcomes and responses, including pain intensity and functional levels; and

     • Any modifications to the treatment plan.

     The physician must use a form developed by the department, or a substantially equivalent form, to document the patient's improvement in pain intensity and functional levels. This form may be included as part of a sixty-day report.
