  • For Physicians (including Residents with DEA numbers) and Physician Assistants--the MPDR fee.

    When you renew your  license, you also will see an assessment for the Montana Prescription Drug Registry fee of $30/year ($60 for a two-year renewal.)

    All Montana licensees who are authorized to prescribe or dispense controlled substances in Scheduled II-V are required to pay a $30 annual fee for establishing and maintaining the Montana Prescription Drug Registry (MPDR): see Montana Code Ann. Sec. 37-7-1511 (1) effective July 1, 2015, as amended by the Montana Legislature. The MPDR is administered by the Board of Pharmacy. The MPDR Fee is collected as a separate fee as part of license renewal. Payment is required whether or not the licensee is physically located in Montana or uses the MPDR online program.

  • To use a paper application form, click the “Forms” tab and then use the link to “License Application Forms.” Then select your form from the choices shown.
