MD name on prescription
 

Good Evening,

As providers approved by the DEA and trained in prescribing, please remove the requirement for MD name on the prescription. The DEA is the organization that confirms we have been adequately trained and gives us authorization to prescribe. Duplication isn’t helpful, rather cumbersome.

Sincerely,

Christie L Meek, PA-C
