I see little benefit in the posting of a provider's DEA license.  Prescription opiod abuse is a significant issue but this does nothing to help resolve the situation.  Computer programs can make forgeries much easier if specific information is obtained (like aproviders DEA#).  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 remove this requirement.
