It would be a missed opportunity, and a disservice to our communities to just go back to business as usual.

DEA — Lifts 3 Requirements for Hospitals and Clinics

One exception: https://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/AHA_MCHF/attach/2020/April/0413/Hospital_Clinic_Registration_Exception.pdf

Second exception: https://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/AHA_MCHF/attach/2020/April/0413/DEA_Dist_MNF_Narcotics_Shipments.pdf

Temporary exception: https://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/AHA_MCHF/attach/2020/April/0413/DEA_5_percent_practitioner_exception.pdf

DEA lifts three requirements for hospitals/clinics during pandemic. To facilitate continuous patient care during quickly changing scenarios during the pandemic, the Drug Enforcement Administration has issued three exceptions to regulations for DEA-registered hospitals and clinics effective from April 10 until the public health emergency ends. One exception allows DEA-registered hospitals and clinics, under their existing DEA registration, to handle controlled substances at their satellite hospital/clinic locations as long as certain conditions are met. DEA is also providing flexibility to allow distributors to ship controlled substances directly to these satellite hospitals/clinics under certain conditions. A second exception allows narcotic treatment programs to accept deliveries of narcotics without providing an authorized signature at the time of delivery in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Finally, DEA today issued another temporary exception to allow DEA-registered dispensers, such as hospitals, pharmacies, and physicians, to distribute controlled substances beyond 5% of the total number of dosage units of controlled substances distributed and dispensed during the same calendar year without being required to register as a distributor.
