Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program

The Electronic Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (“PDMP”) is available online to all Colorado licensed prescribers of controlled substances and to pharmacists.

The PDMP, operated by the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy,  is a secure online database of controlled substance prescriptions that have been dispensed by Colorado registered pharmacies.   The PDMP provides immediate access to a patient's history of controlled substance prescriptions and is available 24/7. This objective information can then be used to assist prescribers and pharmacists in providing the appropriate treatment for their patients.  The PDMP also allows prescribers to obtain a complete record of the prescriptions that have been dispensed pursuant to his or her DEA registration.

To learn more about the PDMP and  to register on line to access the PDMP, please visit www.colorado.pdmp.org.

Important Notice for Licensees Requesting Verification of License

Verifications of licensure include the licensee name, license number and status, original date of issue, basis of licensure, last renewal date, expiration date, and disciplinary action, if applicable.

Examination scores are no longer provided by the Division of Registrations. For score verifications, licensees may access the website of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). Your initial NAVLE score is reported to AAVSB and to the licensing board to which you have applied. This initial score reporting service is included in your examination fee. All subsequent requests by you for NAVLE score reports must be directed to the Veterinary Information Verifying Agency (VIVA), which is operated by AAVSB.
