Partial-Fill Prescription Option For Opioids

House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello is proposing legislation that gives patients or prescribers the option to only partially fill a painkiller prescription.  There are provisions in the bill to carefully monitor subsequent fills of the prescription.  Matiello says it encourages prescribers, patients and pharmacists to work together to limit the number of unused pills left in medicine cabinets, which is where he says, opioid addiction begins.
