These forms are both required documents per the Non-Acute Pain Treatment Guidelines.  As these are Board-required forms, these forms should be filed with the Workers’ Compensation Board at the time the provider seeks to begin the opioid trial or continue opioid medications for a claimant being brought into compliance with the Guidelines.  (Practitioner’s point: A provider’s failure to submit one or both of these forms would be a proper basis to file an objection to the treatment and deny any opioid medication claimant attempts to fill per that evaluation/provider.)
