Agency Description

The Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program (NV PMP) is a database of information regarding the controlled substance prescriptions that were dispensed to patients in Nevada. The database is an online tool that allows prescribers and dispensers access to a patient's controlled substance prescription medication history. The PMP is an important tool that helps practitioners determine if prescribing a controlled substance is medically necessary and appropriate. The PMP also aids regulatory and law enforcement agencies in the detection and prevention of fraud, drug abuse and the criminal diversion of controlled substances.
