Status | active |
Definition | A DEA number is a number assigned to a health care provider (such as a medical practitioner, dentist, or veterinarian) by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration allowing them to write prescriptions for controlled substances. Legally, the DEA number is solely to be used for tracking controlled substance prescribers and prescriptions. It is often used by the industry, however, as a general "prescriber number". \nA single person may have multiple DEA numbers. In particular, a prescriber who practices in multiple states or jurisdictions must have a DEA-issued number specific to each state or jurisdiction. \nA DEA number can be structurally validated: \n
This validates that the number is a valid DEA number, but does not confirm that the DEA number is active or assigned to the person presenting it. \n |
