Narcotics Addiction DEA Number

The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) permits qualified physicians to obtain waivers that expand the settings in which they can prescribe certain medications containing buprenorphine, which treat opioid addiction and dependence. Instead of being limited to only opioid treatment program settings, qualified physicians would be able to prescribe FDA-approved schedule III, IV, and V narcotics in any practice settings (for example, in an office, community hospital, or health department). Each of these physicians is allotted a unique Narcotics Addiction Drug Enforcement Administration Number (NADEAN) waiver identification number. It is also known as the "X" DEA number. To require the NADEAN for applicable prescriptions, you can perform the setup listed below. Then, the number will be sent when a prescriber chooses an opioid treatment medication to comply with the DATA 2000 statue. You can enter the NADEAN for applicable providers. You can denote relevant medications as requiri

Require a NADEAN for a Medication

To comply with Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 statute, you can identify the FDA-approved medications that require a provider’s Narcotics Addiction Drug Enforcement Administration Number (NADEAN) before they can be prescribed for the treatment of opioid dependence. The identification must be implemented at the drug classification level where both Generic Buprenorphine (single) and Buprenorphine+Naloxone (combination) medications are covered. The buprenorphine-containing brands like Suboxone®, Zubsolv®, and Bunavail® should also have this identification. In File Maintenance, open the Medications master files. In the Medication Tasks window, select Medications, and then select Run. Search for the medication. In medication details, select NADEAN Required.

Electronic Prescriptions

You can electronically submit a prescription directly to a selected pharmacy. The ePrescribing feature uses the Surescripts retail and mail-order networks of pharmacies and must be set up through File Maintenance and System Administrator. You should remember the following points before submitting prescriptions electronically: Any medication you submit electronically must have a valid patient's Rx eligibility request, a valid SIG, a numeric quantity value, and a unit type. When resubmitting (including responding to refill requests) a medication previously prescribed without a valid unit type, you must update the unit type to a valid value. You can submit controlled substances electronically only if ePCS is set up. User-defined medications are not supported with Surescripts. You cannot send a medication that is not DEA Schedule 0 without the required setup. If you need supervision, you cannot send a prescription without selecting the appropriate supervising physician.
