The MATE Act attestation
Since June 27, 2023, DEA registrants must attest to eight hours of one-time training on treating and managing substance use disorders, or on safe pharmacological management of dental pain, at their first new application or renewal after that date.
If it lapses
You can't prescribe, administer or dispense controlled substances with an expired registration, even for one day. Pharmacies may reject prescriptions and patients may need to be rescheduled.
