Alert: DEA Phone Scam Targeting Physicians

NCPA has been made aware of scam calls claiming to be from the DEA, alleging concerns about prescriptions associated with clinician’s NPI and DEA numbers.

Please be advised: The DEA does not contact clinicians by phone regarding concerns about prescribing or registration issues. Legitimate DEA communications are made in writing, typically by official letter.

If you receive a call like this:

• Do not provide any personal, professional, or identifying information

• Do not engage with the caller

• Hang up immediately

We encourage members to remain vigilant and share this alert with colleagues and staff who may also receive similar calls.
