On Friday, October 11, the DEA filed a final rule to extend the teleprescribing flexibilities for a third time since 2020.

While not finalized yet, the APA is monitoring the situation and will be sharing more as it becomes available. In early September,  APA advocated for an extension of the tele prescribing rules, allowing time for the DEA to propose and finalize rules that protect patients while ensuring access to quality mental health care.
