DEA REMINDER - October 18, 2010

If you have been delegated Schedule II Controlled Substances prescriptive privileges and are registering through the DEA website, BE SURE TO CLICK privileges for Schedule II and II-N, if needed.  There have been numerous reports throughout the State of Illinois involving PAs writing scripts for II-N and have not signed up for the privilege. Check your DEA license.  If it states II-N on the license, you may write for the Schedule II non-narcotics substances.  If it does not have II-N on your DEA license, then you must re-register through the www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov.
 

Please remember that PAs obtaining Schedule II Controlled Substances can ONLY write for 5 substances.  These 5 substances should be written down and attached to your supervisory agreement.
 

Also, a reminder, the supervising physician's name MUST appear on all prescriptions.  The supervising physician's name can be imprinted, hand-written, or stamped on the script.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact the IAPA office at 800-975-9344.
