Louisiana Medicaid Provider Number

At the beginning of each academic year, the Graduate Medical Education office contacts the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) and requests a Medicaid Provider Number for all enrolled House Officers. Medicaid Provider Numbers are required for any physician writing prescriptions for patients enrolled in Louisiana Medicaid. (Prescriptions are denied at the pharmacy when written by a physician without a Medicaid Prescriber Number.)

DEA Numbers

DEA Numbers are required for physicians to prescribe controlled substances. DEA numbers are issued by either the facility the House Officer is working at, or by the US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration. The LSU GME Office is not involved in the assignment of DEA numbers.

CDS License

CDS is the acronym for Controlled Dangerous Substances, and this term is synonymous with the term "controlled substances." Both of these terms are used to describe those medications subject to certain restrictions on their use. Examples of controlled substances include amphetamines, narcotics and other opiates, anabolic steroids, and benzodiazepines.
The U. S. Controlled Substances Act of 1970 established the five schedules of controlled substances, and they are enumerated in 21 USC 812 as well as 21 CFR 1308. The Louisiana version of the controlled substances schedules are enumerated in the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act, more specifically in La R.S. 40:964, as well as the relevant section of the administrative code, more specifically at LAC 46:LIII.2703. For a current list of controlled substances, you may consult any of several websites, including the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) site at www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov, or the Board of Pharmacy's site at www.pharmacy.la.gov. You may also consult the Board's publication, Louisiana Board of Pharmacy Laws and Regulations.
