This change would be immensely helpful. I have received calls from pharmacists from Walmart and CVS stating they need additional physician information in order to fill the prescription I wrote. The prescription includes the physician’s name and NPI, but the computer program does not generate the DEA. While that is not required by law, and my prescription is otherwise compliant with current law, they will not proceed until they have the DEA. Removing the physician name requirement all together will help eliminate confusion and improve patient experience, not to mention reduce delays and additional time burden on the prescribing PA.
