Completing and Submitting the Order Form

Steps for completing and submitting a DEA Form-222 include the following:

• To order needed medication, a DEA Form-222 must be completed by the NTP.
  The following instructions for completing and executing order forms have been compiled from 21 CFR 1305.06, 1305.07, 1305.09, and 1305.11 as well as from the instructions located on the back of Copy 3 of the order form.
   
  • Order forms must be prepared using a typewriter, pen, or indelible pencil.
     
  • No order form shall be filled if it (1) is not complete, legible, or properly prepared, executed, or endorsed, or (2) shows any alteration, erasure, or change of any description. A defective order form may not be corrected; it must be replaced by a new order form.
     
  • However, DEA has acknowledged that some minor changes may be accepted by a supplier. For instance, suppliers may correct order forms that contain minor errors (e.g., forms which are missing inconsequential information, or forms on which a purchaser has unintentionally inserted an incorrect date.
     
  • The name and address of the supplier from whom the medication is being ordered must be entered on the order form.
     
  • Only one supplier may be entered on any order form.
     
  • Only one item must be entered on each numbered line. According to the instructions found on the back of Copy 3 of the order form, an item is any number of units of the same description, i.e., the same kind of medication and the same size container or the same number and size of dosage units.
     
  • The number of lines completed must be noted on the form. A space is provided for the insertion of this information above the "date issued" block.
     
  • Each order form must be signed and dated by the person authorized to sign an application for registration/renewal application, and others designated by a power of attorney.

The power of attorney regulation is presented below. An example of the type of form that can be used as a power of attorney for DEA order forms and a sample notice of revocation of the power of attorney is found in Appendix B.

• According to the instructions found on the back of Copy 3 of the order form, the order form should be dated and signed as of the day it is submitted for filing.
