Please remove DEA posting requirement
 

I see little benefit in a mandatory posting of the provider's DEA license.  Prescription opiod abuse is a significant concern.  Computer programs can make forgeries much easier once specific information is obtained.  Why make it easier for this to occur?  Each provider has earned their priveledge to prescribe scheduled medications.  Why allow potential tainting of their good name by making it easier for ill intended use?  Please promptly remove this requirement.
