    • Thank you for your question regarding CMS506v7, Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. Gabapentin and Pregabalin are not opioids and are therefore not included in Safe use of Opioids Concurrent Prescribing measure.
    • CMS0071v14
    • PI required measure

      Are gabapentin and pregabalin included or excluded in Safe use of Opioids Concurrent Prescribing measure? Can you please review the VSAC code sets to see if the RX codes for these two medications are included in the acceptable coding set.  I do know how to read or understand the VSAC system https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/ thank you for your assistance.    I am looking for information for 2025 and forward patient data
