2 HCP Rescheduled from III to II Effective 10/6/14 Concerns of Opposition California Pharmacist Association The DEA is attempting to curb overprescribing of HCPs (Hydrocodone Combination Products to reduce abuse and ensure more judicious use of these drugs. This bill would counter the efforts of the DEA by reducing supervision of PAs relative to their prescribing of HCPs and all other Schedule II drugs. Medical oard of California [the MC] recognizes that the intent of this bill is to provide flexibility and allow for a more team-based approach in PA supervision, which the [MC] believes is a laudable goal. The recent amendments addressed concerns raised by the [MC]. However, the [MC] still has concerns related to the reduced physician review of Schedule II drug orders from 100 percent to 20 percent, as this is a significant reduction of supervising physician review for types of opioid medications that are prevalent for abuse.
