DEA Suboxone Audit Form

I have obtained and hereby make available for review and comment DEA Form 82: Notice of Inspection of Controlled Premises. I understand, but cannot be sure, that DEA agents will require OBOT physicians to sign a copy of this agreement before initiating audit of records. OBOT physicians may want to ask an attorney to review the form now so as to be prepared when audited.

I was glad to see the form includes a statement of rights. I notice, too, that the form includes no reference whatsoever to questioning or interrogation. There is a stipulation that the agent will be allowed to inventory stock of controlled substances.

DEA should make a copy of this form available on the agency Web site. Until it does you can make do with this copy.
