Case Result: Pharmacy Avoids DEA Order to Show Cause, Implements Corrective Action Plan
Our Healthcare Compliance lawyers negotiated with the DEA for over a year to avoid order to show cause and retain a pharmacist’s license.
Pharmacies and pharmacists are heavily regulated and subject to a vast body of state and federal laws and regulations. There have been major additions and changes to these laws in recent years, as the federal government and state governments try to address the prescription drug epidemic.
Enforcement actions have increased, likely due to the increased monitoring of controlled substances, greater funding for enforcement agencies to combat the epidemic, and pharmacies and pharmacists struggling to keep up with new laws and regulations.
