State survey of medical boards regarding abrupt loss of a prescriber of controlled substances.

CONCLUSIONS: Most states do not have operational plans in place. However, a few have key strategies that may be useful in addressing potential problems following abrupt loss of a CS prescriber. State medical boards can play a significant role in the development of comprehensive preparedness plans to mitigate damage from the loss of CS prescribers in the community.
