Whenever your pharmacy processes a prescription for a federally scheduled controlled substance, it must validate the prescriber’s Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) authority. If a prescriber’s authority can’t be validated at the point of dispense, third parties pay the claim and flag it for review, which can result in your pharmacy being audited.

Prescriber Authority Service allows your pharmacy to efficiently comply with federal regulations and helps mitigate the impact of audits or financial penalties.
