Pharmacist FAQsFrequently Asked Questions for Pharmacists on the NC Controlled Substance Reporting System
Q: How do I access the NC Controlled Substance Reporting System? A: Pharmacists in North Carolina may apply for access to the NC CSRS. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Drug Control Unit, which administers the CSRS, has information and instructions here: http://www.ncdhhs.gov/mhddsas/controlledsubstance/. The application for access to the CSRS (located here: http://www.ncdhhs.gov/mhddsas/controlledsubstance/csrs-applicationform6-10.pdf) asks for a DEA number, and accompanying instructions (located here: http://www.ncdhhs.gov/mhddsas/controlledsubstance/csrs-profaccess6-10-instruct.pdf state that “your DEA # will be your user name.” Pharmacists typically do not hold an individual DEA number. Bill Bronson, Director of the Drug Control Unit, instructs that a pharmacist’s license number is used for access to the CSRS. When completing the access form, a pharmacist should provide the DEA number of the pharmacy where he/she practices most often. Most importantly, however, the pharmacist must provide his/her pharmacist license number when completing the form. Pharmacists with questions should address them to Mr. Bronson (william.bronson@dhhs.nc.gov; (919) 733-1765).
