Important Information for MCSR/Business Address
- Every person who does more than prescribe at a site - who stores/orders, dispenses or administers controlled substances at a site – needs an MCSR associated with that site address.
- If a person only prescribes controlled substances and does not store/order, dispense, or administer controlled substances, that person needs just one MCSR. That MCSR can be used at multiple locations so long as the person is only prescribing at each location.
- Every site/business address which receives and stores controlled substances needs either a facility MCSR, or a person with an MCSR associated with that site address who is responsible for those activities at that site.
Important Information on DEA Number Requirement
- MCSR registrants must have an active DEA number and matching drug schedules within 90 days of receiving their MCSR. After 90 days without an active DEA number, the registrant’s MCSR will be in jeopardy of being dropped to Schedule VI permissions only.
- DEA does not license Schedule VI.
- The Drug Control Program will continue to monitor that registrants have an active DEA license for the same drug schedules.
