  • The Department of Consumer Protection will send a brief questionnaire to each prescriber with an Active Controlled Substance Registration. This questionnaire will serve as the exemption. The questionnaire only needs to be completed by the prescriber if they are seeking the exemption.
  • At this time, any prescriber that completes the exemption questionnaire and answers "Yes" to questions 4 that asks about the waiver has successfully completed exemption.
  • The prescriber is encouraged to document that they have completed the exemption with the Department of Consumer Protection on the paper, facsimile (fax), or telephone prescription prescriptions provided to the patient or pharmacy.
