quietmedic Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 As most of you will know, we are all already paying outrageous fees for the "privilege" of prescribing narcoticts. But what no one seems to be talking about it's a fact that the manufacturers themselves pay only pennies for the privilege of raking in millions. As far as I can ascertain, manufacturers are paying about $3,000 each for the rights to manufacture. $3,000 is such a low figure that is probably full to well below the average manufacturers toilet paper roll costs per year for their facilities. Yet as providers, we have to pay a figure that might be well near a half of a percent of our annual income. Why isn't any big deal being made about this? And at what point will somebody start fighting back? Should we wait until the DEA fees are $1,000 per year for provider before we say enough is enough?

PA-SGuy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I read several counties in the state of iowa are filing lawsuits against opioid manufacturers but not the DEA. Not sure how far they will get but i'm hoping its a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted February 13, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2018 Better question. Why not sue for restraint of trade for forcing us to license with a doc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwesternTexan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The DEA has to pay for their union (I think?), and all the people that don't do much, etc. I agree it's too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a derogatory statement and you don’t even know if your statement is correct? Seriously?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwesternTexan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 OK new convert. Yup, I didn't even bother to see if the DEA is in a union- it seems many Fed. employees are however. What did you newly convert from/to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
