Hello. Currently I am living outside of America and doing only telehealth. Many patients asks me to ship the their medication (cheaper than buy inside the US). What should be the right license for me so I can ship controlled substances?
Hi Doctor and thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I am not aware if this is possible or where to look for that information since technically (my understanding is) it is “illegal” for patients to import medications from outside the country with the exception of a few circumstances. I’m sorry I can’t offer further assistance.
what if i apply for multiple states for DEA but only have 1 physical address in my primary state? Can I use an out of state address as I do telehealth?
You would need to look on the DEA website how they handle these situations as I’m not familiar with this specific circumstance. Good luck and thank you for watching.
Hi there and thank you for watching! In order to get a DEA registration it is required to put a physical address on-file where drugs will be stored, documentation and records are kept and easily accessed, as well as where the DEA certificate is located. The physical address could be subject to random inspections too, so a PO BOX or registered agent address where none of this information is stored would not work. I hope this helps. Thank you for asking!
Hello. I wanted to ask about the 8hr training that's now required for dea license. I am newly grad and wanted to know if I have to do the 8hr training before I can apply for my dea license. Are there any exemptions to this rule. Thanks.
Hi there and thank you for watching! The new course needs to be completed before you apply because part of the application process is attesting that you completed the 8 hours. Here is a link to the AMA website with more information. I hope it helps! www.aafp.org/pubs/fpm/blogs/inpractice/entry/new-dea-requirement.html
I was recently awarded my “Provisional-Active” license which will become an “Active” status is about a week. During the provisional Active status, do I qualify for applying for DEA certification? Or should I wait until it just reads “Active”?
It really depends on if you’ll be prescribing a lot of controlled medications or not and the state you work. Since DEA registrations are ran state to state, yours may have different requirements for the provisional license. Your local medical board should be able to provide more information for you to determine what is best for your situation. Thanks for watching!
Hi there! I’ve never been through the process with a provider, but my understanding is if you have waited the required amount of time you were told when it got revoked or you surrendered it then you can reapply for a reconsideration online. I suggest checking the website and call the Customer Service number if you have further questions. Good luck!
One of my providers ready to renew their DEA license (Calif) received this: Where can the training be obtained? On-line, on-site at selected facilities? "On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 enacted a new one-time, eight-hour training requirement for all Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)-registered practitioners on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. Beginning on June 27, 2023, practitioners will be required to check a box on their online DEA registration form--regardless of whether a registrant is completing their initial registration application or renewing their registration--affirming that they have completed the new training requirement."
Hi there and thank you for watching. You can find multiple places that offer the new required training for free. If he belongs to the AMA/OMA or to your local state medical association they should have that available to him. I recommend Googling “free required DEA training course” to find one if he doesn’t belong to any of the associations mentioned above. Many will also provide CEU/CMEs for taking the course as well. Good luck!
