Almost 40 states provide such access. Some allow access to all scrips, not only opiates and other controlled substances. The individual states decide who gets to see this information.
HIPPA provides little more than a facade, which will inconvenience the individual patient and their family, but gives access to government as desired.

So for now North Carolina is one of the few states that do respect a patient's privacy?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
