Publications > Manuals > NTP Best Practice Guideline > Ordering Medication > Emergency Orders Ordering MedicationEmergency OrdersAn emergency order occurs when an NTP does not have an adequate supply of medication in its inventory to meet patient dosing requirements, and would not be able to obtain the needed medication from the supplier in time to meet these requirements if normal ordering procedures were used. To address an emergency order when a DEA Form-222 is available, the NTP should arrange a transfer of medication from another NTP or other DEA registrant (i.e., hospital or pharmacy). If an order form is not available, the NTP should contact the local DEA diversion field office to authorize an emergency shipment and should also contact the supplier. Specific procedures to be used in these situations follow. Registration
