CURES Reporting Requirements for Direct Dispensing Practitioners

Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 11190(c)(2)(A), practitioners that dispense controlled substances directly to their patients must report the dispensing information to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The required reporting must be done through Bamboo Health's PMP Clearinghouse. This application allows direct dispensing practitioners to electronically report the dispensing data required by DOJ.

Instructions on how to register for an account, enter information, and add information can be found on the PMP Clearinghouse website at pmpclearinghouse.zendesk.com.

If you wish to provide feedback to the DOJ relating to the Direct Dispense application, please email PDMP_directdispense@doj.ca.gov.
