Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A DEA number is required for the provider writing the prescription to prescribe controlled substances. It is not required for the person receiving the prescription, nor is it necessary for all providers in a physician's office or clinic unless they are prescribing controlled substances. Similarly, not all providers working in a pharmacy need a DEA number, as it is specific to those authorized to prescribe, not dispense, controlled substances.
