Data Submitters

Board of Pharmacy Administrative Rule 338.3162b-338.3162d requires all pharmacies, dispensing practitioners, and veterinarians who dispense schedules 2-5 controlled substances to electronically report this prescription data to MAPS on a daily basis. The data required by Administrative Rules shall be reported to the department by the end of the next business day and shall include data for all controlled substances dispensed since the previous transmission or report. These rules outline the format for reporting to MAPS, and Board of Pharmacy Administrative Rule 338.3162d provides information regarding error correction, that must be done within 7 calendar days from the date of being notified of such errors.

Please review the Data Submission Dispenser Guide below for additional reporting information.

REPORTING EXEMPTIONS

Reporting exemptions include controlled substances administered to patients, samples of controlled substances provided to a patient, and controlled substances that are dispensed by a physician at a medical institution for a maximum of 48 hours.

A waiver may be requested by dispensers, dispensing practitioners, or veterinarians who do not have the appropriate software to record and report prescription data, which will enable those to submit their prescription data in paper form. Upon approval of the waiver application, a MAPS Claim Form is required to be completed for each controlled substance dispensed and then emailed, faxed, or mailed to MAPS for submission into the database.

Approval of a waiver does not exempt from reporting schedule 2-5 controlled substance dispensations, rather, exempts only from reporting electronically.
