What is the Patient Access Program?

The Patient Access Program, or PAP, allows a patient, the patient’s parent or legal guardian if the patient is a minor, or the patient’s legal guardian if the patient is an incapacitated person to receive a copy of the patient’s Texas Prescription Monitoring Program record. The Texas Prescription Monitoring Program only maintains 36 months of patient information reported regarding Schedule II, III, IV, and V controlled substances dispensed by a pharmacy in Texas or to a Texas resident from a pharmacy located in another state.
