nicuPAC Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hey all! I just completed a residency program and accepted a full-time position. I am in the process of accepting a PRN position as well in a different state (neighboring states). I'm trying to figure out the process. Can I have two separate state licenses with two separate supervising physicians? It seems like that would be fine, but I cant find any information on this and I dont want to start the process and later find out I have to do something completely different. Does anyone have any information on practicing in two states at once? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted September 18, 2015 Administrator Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes, separate state licenses, separate SPs, and worst of all on the pocketbook.... Separate DEA numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicuPAC Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Awesome, thank you so much. Lucky for me, the new job covers those finances. WOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatswain2PA Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Separate DEA numbers? You're talking about state DEA, right? Not all states have those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2015 Separate DEA numbers? You're talking about state DEA, right? Not all states have those... every state has pa specific prescribing rules and the dea requires a different cert for each state. I have 2. call them to confirm if you like. I did before putting out the extra 731 dollars for a per diem position in another state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolute Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I looked into the DEA issue earlier this year and indeed a pa needs a sperate DEA license for each state they work in if they intend to prescribe controled medications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I worked two states, have two state licenses and 2 DEA licenses. The good news for one of the DEAs is I qualified to get it for no cost because of working at a tribe, but I could only use it at the clinic I worked in. The other employer paid for my DEA as they were my full time job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatswain2PA Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I did not know that. Two (or more) federal permits....typical government CRAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAdmission Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You'll find some states have a stupid licensing process. Those are the good ones. Most states have really stupid licensing processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
