- To add DEA numbers to a list or to view the numbers already on it, click the name of the list in the main My Physicians List screen. A new screen will be displayed showing detailed information about the list, such as when it will be checked, when the last check was performed, and which DEA numbers are already on it.
- Click the Upload Physicians DEA Numbers link to upload a file containing DEA numbers. It must be a text file with one record on each line.
