Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 177 / Thursday, September 14, 2023 / Notices
such as repeatedly emphasizing that she
had been trying to prevent UC from
taking illicit controlled substances. RD,
at 24–25.
When a registrant fails to make the
threshold showing of acceptance of
responsibility, the Agency need not
address the registrant’s remedial
measures. Ajay S. Ahuja, M.D., 84 FR
5479, 5498 n.33 (2019) (citing Jones
Total Health Care Pharmacy, L.L.C. &
SND Health Care, L.L.C., 81 FR 79188,
79202–03 (2016)); Daniel A. Glick,
D.D.S., 80 FR 74800, 74801, 74810
(2015). Even so, in the current matter,
the Agency agrees with the ALJ that
although Respondent indicated that she
has obtained her post-master’s
certification to treat psychiatric and
mental health conditions as well as
completed two additional courses, one
regarding safely and effectively
prescribing controlled substances in
Florida and the other regarding the laws
and rules governing nursing in Florida,
‘‘these measures are inadequate in the
face of her actions.’’ RD, at 25.
In addition to acceptance of
responsibility, the Agency considers
both specific and general deterrence
when determining an appropriate
sanction. Daniel A. Glick, D.D.S., 80 FR
74810. In this case, the Agency agrees
with the ALJ that revocation will
remind practitioners that a prescriber is
independently responsible for the
prescriptions that he or she issues. RD,
at 27. Regarding Respondent in
particular, ‘‘[a]ny sanction short of
revocation would fail to deter
Respondent from ignoring red flags of
diversion and prescribing controlled
substances for other than legitimate
medical purposes.’’ Id. Moreover, the
Agency agrees with the ALJ that
Respondent’s actions were egregious
because Respondent knowingly
recorded two false diagnoses when she
documented ADHD and GAD to justify
prescribing UC Adderall and Klonopin
despite no medical justification for
issuing the two prescriptions and in the
face of obvious signs of diversion. RD,
at 26–27.
In sum, Respondent has not offered
any credible evidence on the record to
rebut the Government’s case for
revocation of her registration and
Respondent has not demonstrated that
she can be entrusted with the
responsibility of registration. RD, at 27.
Accordingly, the Agency will order that
Respondent’s registration be revoked.
