This regulation governs the receiving procedures for drug shipments under Alabama's Indigent Drug Program, administered by the Department of Mental Health/Mental Retardation (now the Division of Mental Retardation). Facility staff must certify receipt of drug shipments using a department-issued stamp, sign and date packing slips or invoices, and forward them to the Indigent Drug Program Coordinator within five working days. Errors in shipments must be reported immediately, and Schedule II controlled substances must be processed in accordance with federal DEA requirements.
