F. Narcotic registration (www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov)

A physician licensed in the State of California may apply for a Drug Enforcement Administration number either by completing DEA Form #224 online or by sending it to:

 


Drug Enforcement Administration
Department of Justice
P.O. Box 28082, Central Station Washington, DC 20005

  Fees must paid when the DEA Form #224 is submitted. Alternatively, the “Fee Exemption” box can be checked if the applicant registers with a city/county, state or federal hospital address (UCSF, SFGH, VAMC) and obtains the signature of a certifying official supervisor (i.e. CMO, Dean, Chair, Division Chief, Program Director, etc.). However, if the “fee exemption” classification is used, the DEA number is valid only at UCSF training sites.

Forms are available online or by calling or writing the local DEA office:
 


Department of Justice
Drug Enforcement Administration
450 Golden Gate Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 436-7900
Toll free number: 1- 888-304-3251

  After receiving a DEA number, physicians may apply to the bureau of Narcotic Enforcement for the state narcotic registry number, and a supply of State narcotic triplicate blanks for the prescribing of Schedule II Narcotics for outpatients and for patients to be discharged. Apply in writing to:
 


State of California
Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement P.O. Box 13397
Sacramento, CA 95813
(916) 464-2030

  Residents without a DEA license in the State of California may order narcotics for inpatients only.

Please note: Housestaff working at the VA do not need to use triplicates for either inpatients or outpatients if the medications are ordered and dispensed from the VA Pharmacy.
