Professional:
Pharmacist
Primary Issue:
Application for DEA Certificate of Registration for pharmacy denied
Benefit of Using Chapman Law Group:
Pharmacist’s DEA Certification of Registration application had previously been denied because it did not demonstrate to the DEA that the pharmacist was suitably qualified. Our attorney assembled a detailed business plan on behalf of pharmacist, including pro forma financial statements and financial analysis. We submitted a revised application for DEA Registration with a request for a show cause hearing if DEA would not certify the application. Our attorney met with the DEA field office in Tampa, Florida, and advocated for the pharmacist through a formal interview. This satisfied all concerns the DEA had about the pharmacist’s qualifications and business model. We successfully demonstrated to the DEA that the pharmacist had the financial capacity to operate a pharmacy and also fully understood his corresponding responsibilities in regarding to narcotic medication dispensing and record keeping.
Result:
Within eight weeks, the pharmacist obtained an unrestricted DEA Certificate of Registration for Schedule II through IV medications, and he is now able to operate a pharmacy.
Areas of Law:
DEA Registration Applications and Denials
Pharmacy License Defense
