A hospital is recruiting a physician who currently practices in another state. The physician holds a medical license and a DEA registration in their current state. To legally prescribe controlled substances at the new hospital, what must the physician do regarding their DEA registration?

Transfer their existing DEA registration to the new practice address. Use their current DEA registration, as it is a federal credential valid in any state. Obtain a new, separate DEA registration for the state in which the new hospital is located. Apply for a temporary waiver from the DEA to prescribe while the new state license is pending.

Correct Answer:

Obtain a new, separate DEA registration for the state in which the new hospital is located.
