DEA's "Cases Against Doctors" List Available Online

By George F. Indest III, J.D., M.P.A., LL.M., Board Certified by The Florida Bar in Health Law

Did you know that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has a public list of physicians with DEA registrations that have been arrested and prosecuted? On the DEA's website, there is a list of all investigations of physician registrants in which the DEA was involved that resulted in the arrest and prosecution of the registrant which was updated and released on April 3, 2012.

The list includes:
• The name of the physician;
• The physician's city/state;
• Date of arrest/conviction;
• Judicial status;
• Conviction;
• Status of the physician's DEA registration; and
• Remarks regarding the physician's case.
Click here to view a copy of the most recent list (last updated on April 3, 2012).
We cannot vouch for the validity of the information on the DEA's list. We just know it was published.
