(1) Before distributing a controlled
				substance to any person who the registrant does not know to be registered to
				possess the controlled substance, the registrant shall make a good faith
				inquiry either with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) or with
				the Department of Health and Senior Services to determine that the person is
				registered to possess the controlled substance.
(2) The registrant shall design and operate a
				system to disclose to the registrant suspicious orders of controlled
				substances. The registrant shall inform the Department of Health and Senior
				Services of suspicious orders when discovered by the registrant. Suspicious
				orders include orders of unusual size, orders deviating substantially from a
				normal pattern and orders of unusual frequency.
(3) The registrant shall notify the
				Department of Health and Senior Services of any theft or significant loss of
				any controlled substances upon discovery of this theft or loss.
(A) The registrant shall complete and submit
				a Report of Loss, Theft or Diversion of Controlled Substances or Regulated
				Chemicals to the Department of Health and Senior Services no later than seven
				(7) business days after the discovery of such a loss. If the extent of the loss
				cannot be fully determined in that time frame, the registrant shall contact the
				Department of Health and Senior Services to request permission to submit an
				interim report and arrange for a complete report to be completed and submitted.
				The registrant may attach a copy of a completed Drug Enforcement Administration
				Loss Form in lieu of completing the back or second page of a Report of Loss,
				Theft or Diversion of Controlled Substances or Regulated Chemicals form. In the
				event of theft, diversion or suspected theft or diversion, the report submitted
				to the Department of Health and Senior Services shall be accompanied by or
				followed by a summary of the internal investigation performed, the outcome of
				the investigation, and a copy of any law enforcement agency report completed if
				applicable.
(B) If an insignificant
				amount of a controlled substance is lost during lawful activities authorized
				under Chapter 195, RSMo, the reason for the loss or a description of what
				occurred, the name of the drug and the amount lost shall be documented in
				writing, signed by the registrant and attached or filed with the last completed
				annual inventory.
