Voluntary Surrender of DEA Registration

As a healthcare practitioner, the last thing you want is to face penalties and consequences related to your DEA registration. One option that is often offered is the voluntary surrender of your registration. However, it may not always be the best option for you. At Spodek Law Group, our experienced attorneys understand the severity of this decision and are here to help you navigate the process.

Why Voluntary Surrender May Not Be Necessary

In many cases, voluntarily surrendering your DEA registration may be unnecessary and too severe of a penalty for the alleged violation. Our attorneys can negotiate with the DEA on your behalf and explore alternatives to voluntary surrender that may better suit your situation. We are committed to ensuring that you make the best decision for your career.

The Consequences of Voluntary Surrender

If you do decide to voluntarily surrender your registration, the consequences can be severe. You will no longer be able to prescribe controlled substances in any state in which you are licensed, and you will lose your eligibility for Medicare reimbursement and participation in Medicaid programs. This could negatively impact your practice or hospital employment opportunities in the future. Additionally, voluntarily surrendering your registration may affect any pending civil litigation against you, disciplinary actions being taken by state licensing boards, and criminal charges related to controlled substances issues.

Alternatives to Voluntary Surrender

At Spodek Law Group, we explore alternatives to voluntary surrender that may better suit your situation. For example, the DEA may agree to accept your surrender of your registration for a limited period of time or for a specific purpose. Alternatively, they may place conditions on your registration that would limit the types of controlled substances you are authorized to prescribe or how many patients you can treat with controlled substances. In some cases, they may even agree to suspend your registration for a period of time and then allow you to reapply for it after the suspension period has expired. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to find the best solution for you.

How to Avoid Voluntary Surrender

The best way to avoid voluntary surrender is to contact an experienced healthcare attorney as soon as possible after receiving notice from the DEA. Our attorneys can negotiate with the DEA on your behalf and help you avoid voluntarily surrendering your registration altogether. We can also help minimize any conditions placed on your registration if voluntary surrender is unavoidable.

Defending Against Revocation

If your license is revoked, you will be unable to prescribe controlled substances or reapply for registration with the DEA in the future. The revocation process is similar to that of a suspension, and it includes an opportunity for the practitioner to respond to allegations and attend a hearing. At Spodek Law Group, we understand how important your DEA registration is to your career. Our attorneys can help you defend against any allegations of gross negligence or misconduct and ensure that your registration remains compliant with all regulations and requirements set forth by state and federal law.

Protecting Yourself Against Suspension or Revocation

The best way to protect yourself against suspension or revocation of your DEA registration is by remaining compliant with all regulations and requirements set forth by state and federal law. Our attorneys can help you understand these regulations and requirements and ensure that you remain in compliance. Additionally, you should consult with an attorney if you receive notice from the DEA that your registration may be suspended or revoked. Our attorneys can help you navigate the process and protect your career.
