DEA Form 223 is used for what?

• A. Authentication of prescribers
• B. Proof of DEA registration
• C. Inventory record of all CS
• D. Proof of DEA approval for dispensing controlled substances

Answer: (D)

DEA registration is required for anyone who will handle controlled substances, and the DEA issues a registration certificate showing you’re authorized to engage in those activities, including dispensing. DEA Form 223 serves as the documentation that proves you have that approval specifically to dispense controlled substances. This isnures others (and inspectors) that you’re permitted to dispense these drugs under the DEA’s regulations. This isn’t about authenticating prescribers, which relies on licensure and physician DEA numbers rather than a dispensing registration form. It also isn’t the ledger or inventory you keep for all controlled substances, which is a separate record-keeping task. The key point is that Form 223 is the document that proves you have DEA approval to dispense controlled substances.
