Just a quick note to let you know that with Suboxone and Subutex, off-label prescribing does NOT require the physician to have a special X DEA number. The X (which reflects that the physician is either (1) addiction certified or (2) has taken an 8 hour buprenorphine course and that both (1) and (2) have sent in a notification form to CSAT, certifying they are qualified to prescribe Suboxone/Subutex, that they understand there is currently a 30-patient limit, and that they can refer patients for counseling. Off-label prescription for pain and depression (or whatever else a physician may want to prescribe it for) does not carry any requirement. These medications are Schedule III, so no triplicate is required.
