          Types of Licenses

          Types of Licenses

          License Management helps you configure license evaluations for these types of licenses: state license numbers (SLNs), state distributor licenses (SDLs), and drug enforcement administration (DEA) number. You can create custom validity formulas to control where these indicators are shown and meet your company's specific needs.

          State License Numbers (SLNs)

          SLNs are medical licenses for US healthcare providers (HCPs) and ensure that the HCPs are authorized to practice medicine and receive or prescribe samples within a specific state. SLNs are typically checked before sales reps disburse samples to them.

          State Distributor Licenses (SDLs)

          SDLs are issued to entities or facilities distributing dangerous drugs in certain states. In certain states, entities that distribute dangerous drugs need specific licenses, such as Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs (TDDD) in Ohio.

          Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Number

          The DEA number is a license number issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration to providers who prescribe controlled substances. DEA numbers are important for compliance and audit purposes, and must be validated when samples include controlled substances.

          • Define State License Number Validations
            Check the medical license issued to an HCP to practice within a US state by configuring state license number validations (SLNs). This configuration lets sales reps check a healthcare provider's license validity before sharing product samples.
          • Define State Distributor License Validations
            To help sales reps comply with regulatory standards while distributing samples, create state distributor license (SDL) validations. This configuration ensures that the person or the facility that distributes high-risk products, such as those categorized as dangerous drugs, has the necessary license to do so.
          • Define Drug Enforcement Administration License Validations
            Help your org comply with federal rules by configuring Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)-issued identifiers for HCPs who prescribe, dispense, and administer controlled substances. Your sales reps can confirm an HCP's license before providing samples. The DEA number ensures thorough regulation, tracking, and audit of controlled substances.
