| 00-18572 | Facsimile Transmission of Prescriptions for Patients Enrolled in Hospice Programs | Rule | DEA is amending Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1306.11(g) to clearly include articulate that prescriptions for Schedule II narcotic substances for patients enrolled in hospice care certified by Medicare under Title XVIII or licensed by the state may be transmitted by facsimile. The regulation as it is currently worded grants this allowance for Schedule II prescriptions for patients "residing in a hospice * * *". This phrase has been perceived by the regulated industry as requiring that the patient reside in a hospice facility to the exclusion of other care settings, such as home hospice care. It was never DEA's intent to omit the significant number of patients receiving hospice care who reside at home. This interim rule clarifies DEA regulations in response to industry questions. | 2000-07-25 | 2000 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/07/25/00-18572/facsimile-transmission-of-prescriptions-for-patients-enrolled-in-hospice-programs | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-25/pdf/00-18572.pdf | Justice Department; Drug Enforcement Administration | 268,116 | DEA is amending Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1306.11(g) to clearly include articulate that prescriptions for Schedule II narcotic substances for patients enrolled in hospice care certified by Medicare under Title XVIII or licensed by the... |
