DEA Number Question

I have been offered a position as a contract NP at a government military facility. One of the requirements is a DEA number. It is $510 for 3 years. Does anyone know if that is reimbursable through the government or is that a fee that I have to incur on my own? Any ideas? Any experience?

    Your DEA number is linked to where you practice so the employer should be picking this up for you.

    As a government employee, you are exempt from paying the fee for a DEA certificate. I work for a hospital that is operating under the State of California and I did not pay anything for my DEA certificate.

    I don't think that being a contractor counts as being a government employee.

    Your contract company should pay for it. I do locums and they paid for mine. If it is required then they should pay for it.
