Administrator rev ronin Posted February 12, 2020 Administrator Share Posted February 12, 2020 So, I'm in the process of getting my X waiver for medically assisted therapy with buprenorphine... but apparently, I can only have one waiver, despite having two DEA numbers, so I have to pick whether I want it attached to my Alaska or Washington DEA license. Anyone else run into this before? Am I being given correct information, and, if so, how do we fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted February 15, 2020 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2020 seems totally illogical I would reach out to AAPA as a starting point - they might be able to cut some red tape for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted September 29, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just now, Nucs2PA said: What did you find out about this? You only get one, pick whichever, it's good in any state. So in WA my DEAs might look like: AB12345 XB12345 But in AK they might be: CD34567 XB12345 That is, the waiver from the one state WON'T pair with the local DEA number by the "change the first digit to X" rule, but it will still be valid.

Nucs2PA Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Got it, good to know. I work in WA and am working on my CA license. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted September 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2021 can you change which state to be x-waivered? I am in MASS and I am tired of the $150/2 year controlled license fee VT has none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted September 29, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted September 29, 2021 6 minutes ago, ventana said: can you change which state to be x-waivered? Probably. They told me "pick one" and didn't seem to care which state's DEA it was attached to, so I don't know the process to change the selection, but I expect their helpdesk will. They were reasonably responsive to my original question, when I explained it thoroughly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photograph51 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I am in the same situation. I live at the corner of three states and practice in all three states, including prescribing bup in all three states. My x-waiver is on the license for the first state where I got my DEA number. When I started working for my second employer, I had to submit copies of my DEA license that has the x-waiver and my DEA license for the state in which I would be practicing. It has worked out fine for me thus far. It seems to be common with other addiction medicine providers that I have talked to in the area where I live, since it is common to divide time between multiple locations that might be in different states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
