Current limit: 100 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day, seven-days (acute pain), and 30 days (chronic pain)
First policy: Gov. Paul LePage (R) signed L.D. 1646 into law on April 19, 2016. The law set a seven-day limit on opioid prescriptions for acute pain and a 30-day limit on opioid prescriptions for chronic pain. Under the new law, patients may also not exceed 100 MME per day. In some cases, patients can exceed their prescription limits and MME limits for cases such as cancer pain, hospice and palliative care, and treatment for a substance abuse disorder.[29]
Second policy: Gov. Paul LePage (R) signed LD 1031 on June 16, 2017, which clarified the exceptions to the MME limit in L.D. 1646. The law clarified to medical professionals that patients could receive more than 100 MME per day if they suffered from chronic pain, cancer pain, were under hospice and palliative care, or were in treatment for a substance abuse disorder.[30]

"Palliative care" means patient-centered and family-focused medical care that optimizes quality of life by anticipating, preventing and treating suffering caused by a medical illness or a physical injury or condition that substantially affects a patient's quality of life, including, but not limited to, addressing physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs; facilitating patient autonomy and choice of care; providing access to information; discussing the patient's goals for treatment and treatment options, including, when appropriate, hospice care; and managing pain and symptoms comprehensively. Palliative care does not always include a requirement for hospice care or attention to spiritual needs.
"Serious illness" means a medical illness or physical injury or condition that substantially affects quality of life for more than a short period of time. "Serious illness" includes, but is not limited to, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, lung disease, cancer, heart, renal or liver failure and chronic, unremitting or intractable pain such as neuropathic pain.

In June 2015, the Joint Committee on Behavioral Health and Opioid Use Disorders was authorized (Chapter 464, Acts of 2015).
The Committee oversees the Prescription-Drug Monitoring Program, and State and local programs to treat and reduce behavioral health and opioid use disorders. The Committee also is to review the final report of the Governor's Heroin and Opioid Emergency Task Force, and review and monitor the work of the Governor's Inter-Agency Heroin and Opioid Coordinating Council.
Ten members constitute the Committee: five senators appointed by the Senate President and five delegates appointed by the House Speaker (Code State Government Article, sec. 2-10A-02).
Prior to Maryland Medicaid announcing its own opioid-prescribing guidance, the CDC released their own guidance regarding the prescription of opioids for chronic pain in March of 2016. The CDC’s guidance became the theme of the Maryland Medicaid Pharmacy Program’s annual conference:"Updates in pain management: A focus on effective pain management and new safety concerns."
By bringing together attendees to review the CDC clinical guidelines, provide an overview of Maryland’s opioid-use concerns, and discuss challenging pain management cases, the webinar increased provider’s knowledge of safe and effective opioid prescribing methods that can be utilized on a daily basis. The conference was recorded and can be found on our website.

Current limit: 90 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day and 14-day initial limit (acute pain)
Policy: Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) signed Assembly Bill 474 into law on June 16, 2017. The law set a 14-day initial limit on opioid prescriptions for acute pain. Under the new law, patients may also not exceed 90 MME per day. If a patient requires more than 30 days, the doctor must consider 16 factors, such as if the treatment is working and if the patient is doctor shopping. If a patient requires more than 90 days of pills, patients must undergo blood and radiology tests to determine the cause of the pain.

Opioid prescribing rules
Board of Medicine Med 502 Final Opioid Prescribing Rules
New Hampshire Opioid Prescribing Resource for Chronic Non-Terminal Pain (Opioid Prescribing Guidance with Embedded Links)
Developed by the New Hampshire Medical Society (NHMS) Task Force on Pain and Prescription Opioid Misuse
CME Regarding Opioid Prescribing
Continuing medical education (CME) courses to satisfy the opioid prescribing competency requirement
After being approved by the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules (JLCAR), the New Hampshire Board of Medicine (BoM) adopted on November 2, 2016, final rules for opioid prescribing for the management or treatment of non-cancer and non-terminal pain, as well as requirements to use the state prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) based on the adoption of HB 1423 in late June.
In effect January 1, 2017, the new BoM rules apply to initial Schedule II, III and IV opioid prescriptions that are self-administered by an individual patient for the management or treatment of pain. Excluded from the new rule is the supervised administration of opioids in a health care setting.
