Electronic Controlled Substances Ordering (CSOS) for EMS

Modernize controlled substance ordering with secure, compliant processes that replace manual paperwork.

Electronic Controlled Substances Ordering (CSOS) is a secure system developed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that allows authorized healthcare providers to order controlled substances electronically. By replacing paper DEA Form 222 with digital ordering, CSOS enables faster processing, improved accuracy, and enhanced compliance through secure authentication and encrypted transactions.

Bound Tree supports EMS agencies and licensed medical professionals by providing access to CSOS ordering, along with the guidance and resources needed to navigate registration, certification, and ongoing compliance requirements.

Each digital certificate contains identification information specific to each individual subscriber and his/her associated DEA registration.
