Statement from the DEA Administrator Anne Milgram on COVID-19 Telemedicine Flexibilities for Prescription of Controlled Medications

May 04, 2023 8:48 AM | Anonymous

From dea.gov,

The Drug Enforcement Administration received a record 38,000 comments on its proposed telemedicine rules.  We take those comments seriously and are considering them carefully.  We recognize the importance of telemedicine in providing Americans with access to needed medications, and we have decided to extend the current flexibilities while we work to find a way forward to give Americans that access with appropriate safeguards. 

For this reason, last week, DEA, in concert with the Department of Health and Human Services, submitted a draft Temporary Rule to the Office of Management and Budget entitled “Temporary Extension of COVID-19 Telemedicine Flexibilities for Prescription of Controlled Medications.”  Further details about the rule will become public after its full publication in the Federal Register.
