This study examines the impact of the 2014 policy change requiring Medicaid prescribers to use the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP). The analysis shows that, with the implementation of the PMP, reductions or changes are noted in numbers of opioid prescriptions, changes in dosages, prescribing patterns, and the number of doctor and pharmacy shoppers.
