Evidence status: CURRENT / ACTIVELY DISTRIBUTED. Florida Medical Pain Management publishes its full Pain Management Agreement on its live website. The practice is currently active in St. Petersburg, New Port Richey, and Spring Hill.

Quick read

The agreement governs medication use, early/lost refills, outside controlled prescriptions, office-hour refill procedures, alcohol/marijuana and lifestyle conditions, physical therapy, blood/urine testing, pill counts, one-pharmacy use, broad information sharing, and termination.

Who is on the provider side

Current Florida Medical Pain Management materials identify providers including Kazi Hassan, MD; Sardha Perera, MD; Brian Mavretich, DO; Artur Teregulov, MSN, FNP-BC, APRN; Dr. Alshon; Brenda Giles, DNP, MBA; and Brittany Bandy, PA-C. The agreement is practice-wide and the individual treating clinician varies.

Terms that matter most

• Overused medication is not refilled early, and lost or stolen prescriptions or medication are not replaced.
• Outside prescription pain or sedative medication is restricted absent specific medical necessity and must be reported within 72 hours after being filled.
• Refills are generally handled in connection with office care during regular office hours.
• The form includes smoking-cessation, weight-loss, and physical-therapy participation expectations.
• Blood or urine testing and pill counts may be required.
• One pharmacy is required for pain-medication prescriptions.
• The agreement contains broad pharmacy/law-enforcement cooperation and privacy/confidentiality-waiver language.
• Breach or false information can stop pain-control prescribing and may lead to immediate removal from the clinic.

Florida law versus clinic policy

Florida requires the agreement to address prescription/refill frequency, patient compliance and discontinuation, and one treating registrant. FMPM’s one-pharmacy rule, categorical lost-medication policy, lifestyle/therapy conditions, testing implementation, disclosure waiver, and immediate-clinic-removal language are additional practice terms unless another authority applies.

Current-law caution: marijuana wording

The live agreement includes marijuana within prohibited illegal controlled-substance language. Florida separately authorizes qualifying medical-marijuana use under §381.986. This page preserves the agreement’s wording but does not present all medically authorized marijuana use as unlawful. A clinic may still impose an individualized treatment restriction concerning concurrent marijuana and controlled-substance therapy.
