FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does DEA registration renewal tracking work?

CredVault tracks your 9-character DEA registration number, authorized controlled substance schedules, and expiration dates. Automated email reminders are triggered at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days prior to expiration. Practitioner DEA registrations (Form 224a) renew on a 3-year cycle.

What happens if a DEA registration expires?

Practicing or prescribing controlled substances with an expired DEA registration is a violation of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 842), subjecting practitioners to civil fines of over $10,000 per violation and potential license suspension. Pharmacies will immediately refuse to dispense prescriptions.

Can I track DEA registrations for multiple providers?

Yes. CredVault supports practice rosters sized for your needs: Solo plans support up to 3 providers, Practice plans up to 10, and Group plans up to 25. Each clinician's DEA registration is tracked individually with dedicated alert schedules.

Where do I submit official DEA registration renewals?

DEA renewals are submitted directly through the official DEA Diversion Control Division online portal using Form 224a (for practitioners) or Form 225a/336a (for other business activities). CredVault is a compliance tracking and early alert system that alerts your team in advance; renewals must be finalized on the official DEA site.

How does DEA registration differ from CSOS?

DEA registration grants federal legal authority to prescribe, administer, or dispense controlled substances. The Controlled Substances Ordering System (CSOS) is a separate digital certificate program that allows electronic ordering of Schedule I and II controlled substances without paper DEA Form 222.

Can I export DEA registration compliance reports for audits?

Yes. Download audit-ready CSV rosters and PDF credential packets sorted by expiration date on demand for hospital credentialing committees, payer re-credentialing, and DEA inspections.

Never let a DEA registration lapse.
