- DEA FAQ: What reports must be filed if a practitioner/physician experiences a theft or significant loss of controlled substances?
Answer: All thefts and any significant losses must be reported to the DEA immediately upon discovery of the theft or loss. Notification must be accomplished by completing and filing a DEA Form 106, Report of Loss or Theft. The form my be found on the Internet at www.DEAdiversion.usdoj.gov or may be obtained from your local DEA office. If the circumstances regarding the theft or loss need clarification before the form can be completed, the registrant can make an initial report via telephone or some other means and file the completed form as soon as the circumstances are known.
In addition, Pharmacydirectors.com recommends contacting your state board of pharmacy for specific reporting regulations such as specific forms or requirements. - DEA National Conference on Drug and Chemical Diversion
