License Description Registration Requirements Chapter 69.50 RCW Chapter 246-887 WAC Requirements Applicants for a controlled substance researcher must list the controlled substances to be used, the purpose for such use, and the names of the people authorized to access the controlled substances. The applicant must develop policies and procedures for the storage, security, accountability, as well as recordkeeping for the acquisition and disposition of the controlled substances. All applicants are subject to a site inspection before registration. Change of location or registrant requires a new application and initial inspection. Registration for controlled substance researcher is not transferable. Personal data questions Applicant must answer personal data questions. If there is a positive answer to the professional liability claims history question, the applicant must send an explanation of the nature of the case, data and summary of care given, copies of the original complaint, and the settlement or final disposition. If a case is pending, applicant must indicate status. Process for approving/denying applications We finish final review for approval after a credentialing specialist verifies that the application is fully complete, and complies with requirements in chapter 69.50 RCW and chapter 246-887 WAC. We complete background checks and make sure applicants have submitted required fees. Credentialing supervisors and lead workers have the authority to approve routine applications. The disciplining authority may conduct further review if the credentialing supervisor can't verify the applicant meets all requirements. We'll formally notify applicants of a denial. Those applicants may request a hearing to appeal the decision. Renewal requirements Controlled substance researchers must renew their registrations annually on or before May 31. Registrations may be renewed within 90 days of the expiration date. A courtesy renewal notice will be mailed to registration location address of record.
