Can doctors require a urinalysis before prescribing narcotics or xanax?

Sure. Considering the fact that doctors are under no obligation to prescribe any particular medicine, if they choose to require a urinalysis before prescribing something, you'd have to comply with their request or risk not getting the medication. Drug testing for compliance, narcotics contracts, and other controls help protect the prescriber's license and livelihood while allowing them to prescribe medications for patients in need.

Who regulates e prescribing?
(in the US) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD), are primarily responsible for promulgating the rules and regulations controlling this activity, and all law enforcement agencies are empowered to enforce them. So-called 'e-prescribing' is not really "prescribing" at all it is simply a non-face-to-face sales activity. In the US you must be examined by a licensed medical professional for a diagnosis of your condition which may - or may not - require them to write a prescription specifically for your condition.

Can a chiropractor prescribe pain medication?
Yes. There are different classes of pain medications. Those that are addictive, such as narcotics, are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and require a specific license in order to be prescribed. Anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Naproxen do not require a DEA prescribing license. If a doctor is licensed to practice medicine, they are able to prescribe anti-inflammatories and other, non-addictive pain medications. Most Physicians and Nurse Practitioners have a DEA license, so they are able to prescribe most types of regulated narcotics. Some narcotics are strong enough that their use is usually monitored by a Pain Specialist, which may require a referral from your doctor.

Suboxone coverage by insurance plans such as "Care Oregon" and "Family Care" plan require a prior authorization (PA) process. Some insurance plans does not require this process to fill the medication but you will need to speak to your insurance to see if your medication requires the PA process.
