If the DEA showed up tomorrow, how sure are you that your practice would pass an inspection? When you accept the privilege of having a DEA registration, you automatically give the DEA permission to enter and inspect your registered premises at any time to check that DEA storage and record-keeping requirements are being adhered to. The DEA is not required to provide notice prior to conducting an inspection; and, if you are found to be “non-compliant,” $15,691 is the maximum fine per infraction for which the DEA has the authority to cite and fine the registrant of record.
Averting DEA compliance risk requires ongoing due diligence and proactive measures to help prevent controlled substance issues from arising; and, if and when they do, to ensure issues are quickly identified and properly addressed before they escalate. While there is no “quick fix” to DEA compliance, there are ways to make required processes easier.
