Have DEA number, where to get prescription pad?

[TPfan24]

Hello everyone, I have recently obtained my DEA number. One of my positions does not require writing prescriptions while my newer position does. This place does not have have use of electronic records. Presently my prescriptions are called in directly to the pharmacy. So patients however want the hard copy. So what are the recommendations for obtaining paper prescription options? There are no drug reps involved in my position also. I know sometimes they hand them out. I looked online. Is that a good source?

Thanks.

Do I have to get an NPI? My employer has nothing to do with ANY insurances and any moonlighting will be strictly a cash only basis. As I read it I do not need one, but I may be wrong.

I've had insurance companies request my NPI number when doing a prior authorization for a medication even when my services are not billed to the insurance company. I don't know what would happen if you said you didn't have one, they might be satisfied with license number.
