About the ILPMP

What is the ILPMP?

The Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program (ILPMP) is an electronic database that collects, tracks, and stores reported dispensing data on Schedule II-V controlled substances, selected drugs of interest, and other health information.

The ILPMP is a support tool used to help ensure safety in prescribing and dispensing. Healthcare providers can access 12 months of a patient's prescription history to aid in clinical decision-making and improve patient care.

Pharmacies and other state departments report data to the ILPMP database. While the ILPMP strives for accuracy, discrepancies may occur. Contact us if you notice an error in reporting.

The Illinois Department of Human Services oversees the ILPMP, authorized by the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (720 ILCS 570/316). The ILPMP adheres to HIPAA and all Illinois legal requirements regarding confidentiality and disclosure.
