Hawaii Informed Consent for Opioid Prescribed Pills

Hawaii prescribers use this Department of Health template to document informed consent before long-term opioid prescribing under HRS 329-38.5. The patient initials each statement, covering side effects, driving, dependence and withdrawal, addiction risk, overdose with sedatives or psychiatric drugs, safe storage, testosterone and pregnancy effects, and naloxone. DCD lists it among its workers' compensation forms.

Who completes it

The prescribing provider goes through the form with the patient, writing in the condition being treated and the non-opioid treatments discussed. The patient initials each statement, and both sign, print their names and date it.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Keep the signed consent in the patient's medical record; it is not filed with DCD.
Who pays
The template sets no fee and is not a report to the employer or carrier.

Good to know

  • The patient confirms opioids are prescribed because other treatments have not controlled the pain well enough, and that they will be stopped if they do not help meet agreed goals.
  • Patients agree to tell any treating provider they take opioid pain pills and to disclose psychiatric, sleep and addiction-treatment drugs, since mixing can cause overdose.
  • The form notes that naloxone can be prescribed, that insurance may not cover it, and that drugs such as buprenorphine and naltrexone can trigger withdrawal.
  • It is a Department of Health template written for the HRS 329-38.5 informed-consent requirement, not a report specific to workers' compensation. File dated December 2017.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hawaii require informed consent for long-term opioids?

HRS 329-38.5 requires informed consent before long-term opioid prescribing, and this Department of Health template was written for that requirement. DCD links it, without a form number, on its workers' compensation forms page alongside the WC-2 and the treatment plan.

Is the opioid consent filed with Hawaii's DCD?

No. The signed consent stays in the patient's medical record and is not filed with the Disability Compensation Division. It documents that the patient reviewed and initialed each statement with the provider, had the chance to ask questions, and consented to opioid treatment of the pain condition.
