Temporary DEA #
- Each LCMC facility has a unique facility DEA number.
- The temporary DEA number consists of the LCMC Health facility DEA number (the prefix), followed by the individually assigned 5-digit resident suffix
- The unique facility temporary DEA number is to only be used for prescribing controlled substances for patients at that specific facility.
- For Example: You CANNOT use the UMC facility DEA number and suffix when prescribing for patients at Touro or any other hospital outside of UMC.
- Use of the DEA # for patients other than for specific patients of the facility is strictly prohibited
- Violations will be reported to both CMO and Drug Enforcement Administration for appropriate disciplinary and/or legal action
