DEA will issue a registration which will authorize the registrant to obtain controlled substances at the time of transfer, but the registrant may not dispense controlled substances until the pharmacy has been issued a valid state pharmacy license. When can the DEA Deny, Suspend, or Revoke a pharmacy registration? 1. The recommendation of the appropriate State licensing board or professional disciplinary authority. 2. The applicant's experience in dispensing or conducting research with respect to controlled substances. 3.

What is a regulated seller. In a closed system, record-keeping is required for controlled substances from the creation to disposal, thus keeping controlled substances within the system. Pharmaceutical controlled substances found outside this closed system are said to have been diverted (Brushwood, 2006). Under a closed system: The DEA must determine that the registration is “consistent with the public interest” (Yeh, 2012, p. 6), using such criteria as the expected effects on public health and safety, and registrant compliance with state and federal laws. The DEA can deny, suspend, or revoke registrations. The “majority of investigations into possible violations of controlled substance laws are carried out by state authorities,” (DEA, 2006, p. 4); the DEA relies on state actions to determine whether to revoke registration. Disposal options include takeback events, mail-back events, and authorized collection receptacles (DEA, 2012). Under the SRDDA: Retrieved from Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Justice.

Schedule I contains substances, such as heroin, that have “a high potential for abuse” with “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States” and that cannot safely be dispensed under a prescription. Schedule II contains substances such as prescription opioids that have recognized medical uses but may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.The DEA has increased its’ regulatory audits and inspections of pharmacies through the use of regional task forces and other federal resources. A separate registration is required for each principal place of business where controlled substances will be dispensed. A DEA registration must be renewed every three years using DEA Form 224a, Renewal Application for DEA Registration. The DEA Certificate of Registration (DEA Form 223) must be maintained at the registered location in a readily retrievable manner and kept available for official inspection. A pharmacy that moves to a new physical location must request a modification of registration. A DEA registration cannot be transferred to another party unless the DEA provides express, written consent for the transfer to occur.Please log in or become a member.

Managing diversion prevention and compliance with DEA regulations in hospital-owned outpatient clinics, physicians’ offices, and ambulatory care settings can be a challenging task for the hospital-based pharmacist. However, as the medication experts, the pharmacy department must take ownership of managing medications used in these environments. Please note that the regulatory concerns addressed herein are based on federal requirements; nonetheless, some states have additional requirements, making familiarity with local regulations equally important. One method health systems commonly employ is to have clinics and other outpatient care settings dispense controlled substances under the main hospital’s DEA registration. Often, this practice has been established for many years and has never been questioned. However, according to the DEA: DEA has historically provided an exception that a practitioner who is registered at one location, but also practices at other locations, is not required to register separately for any other location at which controlled substances are only prescribed. If the practitioner maintains supplies of controlled substances, administers, or directly dispenses controlled substances at the separate location, the practitioner must obtain a separate DEA registration for that location. 1 (emphasis added) Controlled substances are received at the registered location, usually the hospital, and must then be transported to the outpatient sites where they will be dispensed and utilized. Any time controlled substances are transported, additional risks of diversion are created. The means of transportation often is not secure; pharmacy technicians or other staff may carry controlled substances in unsealed boxes, bags, or totes. This creates opportunities for diversion as well as tampering. According to the Five Percent Rule: If at any time the controlled substances distributed exceed five percent, the pharmacy is required to register as a distributor. 2 If a location obtains controlled substances from the main hospital pharmacy by use of DEA Form 222, the drugs must be transported in a secure box with a numbered lock to ensure a chain of custody. Serial numbers should be logged and, when the forms are used, the details of the order should be logged next to the serial number. In the clinic setting, there may be temptation to pre-sign the forms; this risky practice should be absolutely prohibited. However, separation of ordering, receiving, and stocking duties is considered a best practice to prevent diversion during the procurement process. Having a separate person witness each stage of procurement or independently verify ordering and stocking records may be a solution if complete separation is not feasible. Nevertheless, the storage location must be secure, access must be limited to authorized personnel, and the quantity of the inventory must be verified at the beginning and end of each business day using a two-person process. Records of inventory, use, and disposal must be maintained, and usage should be reviewed by an independent entity on a regular basis. Controlled substances that require refrigeration must be kept in a separate lock box in the refrigerator. Prescribers must stay current as to which samples are scheduled drugs. For example, some providers are unaware that eluxadoline (Viberzi) and suvorexant (Belsomra) are Schedule IV drugs. If patients are to pick up samples of controlled substances outside of regular visits, the drugs must remain in locked drug storage until the moment of collection. Blank pads and prescription printer paper should be kept in small quantities and stored securely. Printed and signed prescriptions should be delivered directly and immediately to the patient, rather than left to accumulate on counters and printers. Non-prescribers should not be allowed to complete any portion of the prescription. Ideally, the prescriber always hands the prescription to the patient. Prescriptions awaiting pickup should be tracked in a log, kept in a locked location, and should be destroyed if not collected within 7 days. Some states require that uncollected prescriptions be returned to a state regulatory board. Records of the inventories and of disposition of scheduled drugs must be maintained onsite in a readily retrievable form for 2 years; records of Schedule II drugs must be kept separately from other schedules. Because the staff at offices and clinics does not typically include pharmacists, they may be unaware of the requirements for inventories and record maintenance. The requirements should be explicitly delineated in each facility’s policies and procedures. In lieu of having staff physically count the drugs twice a day, the drugs may be stored in a lock box with an external serialized lock. Each day, staff must verify on the inventory record that the lock is intact and that the number on the lock is correct. The box should be opened and inventoried on a monthly basis to be certain the drugs are present and unexpired. Wasting of partial doses should be performed and recorded with a witness, whose name must be part of the disposal record. Although sharps containers often are used for disposal of controlled drugs, they do not meet the DEA standard of rendering the waste non-retrievable. To minimize the risk of diversion, the use of a specialized controlled substance waste receptacle is an excellent option. Sewering (flushing or disposal into a drain) is a commonly utilized method; however, the DEA has stated that it does not consider sewering alone to meet the standard of non-retrievability. 3 Also, concerns about the environment may inspire staff reluctance to sewer medication. Certain substances used in the outpatient setting, notably testosterone, may require special handling due to a proposed rule making them hazardous substances in addition to scheduled drugs. If that is not a practical solution, then destruction on-site, using a two-person process (the same method as for partial doses), must be used. A separate log should be kept to record destroyed medication; DEA Form 41 provides a template for recording destruction of controlled medication. A common practice is to eliminate the drug from the inventory once it is set aside for removal. However, drugs designated for disposal are still vulnerable to diversion and must be accounted for. Ideally, a separate inventory record should be maintained for expired medications and any other drugs awaiting destruction or removal, and drugs should remain on that inventory record until they are no longer physically present at the site. However, staff in clinics and other outpatient practices must be aware that, per DEA regulations, they are not allowed to collect unwanted medications from end users. If such requests are encountered regularly, offices should keep on hand a list of registered take-back sites. As a courtesy to patients, practices also may provide commercially available products that patients can use to return or destroy their own controlled substances. At a minimum, a formal, annual in-service covering the scope of the problem, what to look for, and how to report concerns is essential. Physicians and mid-level providers also must receive annual education on prescribing practices to minimize the risk of abetting abuse. Proper management includes preventing diversion by ensuring controlled substances are stored securely and utilized in compliance with DEA regulations. Diversion Control Division.

Below is the decision that was made. Because of the strict requirement of the 7-day hard copy prescription, there could be major issues with the DEA if this is not followed. There is NO requirement to fill any prescription that you determine should not be filled. In a bona fide emergency, a practitioner may telephone a schedule II prescription to the pharmacist who may then dispense the prescription. The prescribing practitioner must provide a written and signed prescription to the pharmacy within seven days and meet the below requirements: Prescribing or dispensing beyond the emergency period must be pursuant to a written prescription order. The written prescription may be delivered to the pharmacist in person or by mail, but if delivered by mail, it must be postmarked within the seven day period. Upon receipt, the dispensing pharmacist must attach this written prescription to the oral emergency prescription which had earlier been reduced to writing by the pharmacist. By regulation, the pharmacist must notify the local DEA Diversion Field Office (Visit www.DEAdiversion.usdoj.gov for current addresses and telephone numbers) if the prescriber fails to provide a written prescription within seven days. Failure of the pharmacist to do so will void the authority conferred on the pharmacy to dispense the controlled substance without a written prescription of a prescribing practitioner. Prepared by the DEA Office of Diversion Control, the manual is designed to assist practitioners (physicians, dentists, veterinarians, and other registrants authorized to prescribe, dispense, and administer controlled substances) in their understanding of the federal Controlled Substances Act and its implementing regulations as they pertain to their professions. Controlled Substances and Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies (REMS) With the approval of complex drug categories such as biologics, other risks associated with medication use (such as infection) are also heightened. The major measures include: Controlled substances carry additional restrictions for prescribing, dispensing, and record keeping. REMS programs may designate which physicians can prescribe certain drugs, limit the pharmacies that are allowed to dispense them, and require monitoring steps for patients (such as blood tests) to ensure safe use. If so, certain extra steps may need to be considered when planning and executing MTM services. Some examples might be: In addition, pharmacies, practitioners, or healthcare settings may be required to be registered to prescribe or dispense that agent. How controlled substances are stored, handled, and distributed in the pharmacy varies according to state laws, so technicians need to ensure they are familiar with the laws pertaining to their area. Short-acting barbiturates: amobarbital, pentobarbital (Nembutal). Abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Office of Diversion Control. Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, Prescriptions: Controlled substances listed in Schedules III, IV, and V. Available at: 2 Specific details of the programs vary by state. 4 As of June 25, 2015, 38 states permit a prescription for naloxone to be written and dispensed to a person other than the patient at risk. Also by that date, 28 states permit prescribing and dispensing of naloxone by healthcare professionals (such as pharmacists) who meet certain educational and professional criteria. In addition, 34 states provide immunity from liability to prescribers or dispensers of naloxone (the “Good Samaritan” Law). Although there is no overarching Federal statute at this time, it is important for pharmacy technicians to know the laws for naloxone distribution in the state where they practice. 5. For example, technicians may determine whether drugs on the controlled substances schedule are eligible for refills (or require a new prescription), whether limits in drug benefits may restrict the number of refills or duration of treatment, research past medical records or outside pharmacy records to detect patterns of controlled substance misuse, and help educate patients on storage and safe disposal of controlled substances. Specific controlled substance guidelines are available from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and are subject to state and local laws. 6 Some general guidelines are outlined in Table 3. Special software is required to fill electronic prescriptions for controlled substances, so not all pharmacies have agreed to accept them. There are special rules for communicating between pharmacies to ensure that a controlled substance prescription is not duplicated or filled at multiple pharmacies. 7 Controlled substances can never be returned to the pharmacy for re-use. Office of Diversion Control. Questions and Answers. Available at:. Without REMS, the FDA has stated that certain drugs might otherwise have been removed from the market or have their approval delayed or refused ( Table 4 ). 8 The FDA can require drug manufacturers to develop a REMS before a drug is approved, or after a drug is already on the market. REMS may apply to a single drug, or an entire class.A Brief Overview of Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS). www.fda.gov. At the simplest level, a Medication Guide (also called a MedGuide) must be delivered to a patient explaining the use of the drug in a clear and readable format. The majority of REMS programs currently in existence only require a MedGuide to be distributed to the patient. At higher levels of risk, the REMS program may restrict prescribing to physicians who have specific training in its use, and restrict dispensing to certified pharmacies ( Table 5 ).MedGuides must be distributed: These may include: The risk for this infection increases the longer a patient has used the drug, and for patients who have had certain chemotherapy or immunosuppressive treatments. It is possible to detect an increasing risk of the infection (called PML, for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) by measuring antibodies in the blood. To ensure that monitoring protocols are followed and that patients are fully aware of the risks, only prescribers who are enrolled in the TOUCH program can prescribe Tysabri. In addition, only certified infusion centers can administer the drug. TOUCH prescribers must agree to a set of safety steps, including: 9 In MTM, the pharmacy staff should ensure that the goals of the specific REMS program are being met, or make a plan to address them. The technician might asked to: highlight steps in a particular REMS program, determine whether these steps have been followed, track down laboratory testing results or help patients make appointments for testing, and locate pharmacies, infusion centers, or other services to help the patient obtain the medication.
