If you manage controlled substances under a DEA license, compliance with Federal and State regulations is critical. Non-compliance can result in serious penalties; DEA violations can carry fines of over $18,000 per infraction, and these amounts continue to increase. Improper disposal of controlled substance waste may also lead to EPA fines of up to $37,500 per violation.
To avoid these costly consequences, it's important to proactively identify and address potential compliance issues. Maintaining proper documentation and staying audit-ready can help protect your practice and provide peace of mind.
One effective way to stay prepared is by performing regular self-audits. We’ve created a DEA compliance checklist to help you evaluate your hospital’s practices and ensure you’re meeting all required regulations.
