DEA to begin requiring single-sheet form to order controlled substances

Health care providers registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration must use the new single-sheet form to order schedule I and II controlled substances, effective Oct. 30, the agency announced Monday. DEA began transitioning to the new form two years ago under a 2019 final rule. In July, DEA also published a direct final rule to clarify that either the purchaser or the supplier may enter a supplier’s DEA registration number on the new single-sheet form.
