Initial Q & A
What steps are necessary to prescribe a controlled substance in Nevada?
All prescribing providers who wish to prescribe controlled substances in Nevada, must apply for a state-controlled substance registration with the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy and must indicate what schedules of controlled substances the provider wishes to be authorized to prescribe (e.g. schedules II through V). If the state-controlled substance registration is granted, then the provider must submit an application to the DEA for a federal controlled substance registration and must receive the federal registration before the provider is legally authorized to prescribe a controlled substance in Nevada. The DEA will not issue a federal registration if the provider has not yet received their state controlled substance registration in Nevada.
Prescribing providers must hold a DEA registration specific to the state in which they plan to prescribe. A DEA registration issued in California for instance, may not be utilized to prescribe in Nevada. A DEA registration may be transferred to another state. However, if the provider intends on practicing in more than one state, they should apply for a separate DEA registration in each state.
