PMP Integration
The Board of Pharmacy currently receives funding for statewide integration that allows non-federal healthcare entities to connect to the PMP Gateway at no charge. The purpose is to make the PMP more efficient and easier to use, especially with the requirement that Arizona prescribers and pharmacists check the PMP record of a patient before prescribing or dispensing certain controlled substances effective October 16, 2017 (A.R.S. 36-2606). NOTE: Integration is not mandatory and patient records can always be checked online at https://arizona.pmpaware.net/.
