Narcotic Treatment Program Exception Request
The NTP Exception Request form is to facilitate the submission of patient exceptions to state regulations California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 9, Chapter 4 in accordance with Section 10425. This form is intended for exceptions that only require DHCS state approval and do not require SAMSHA’s federal approval. This does not preclude other forms of notifications. DHCS may grant a temporary exception request in accordance with CCR, Title 9, Section 10425 for individual licensed NTP locations on a per patient basis.
Patient exception requests to 42 CFR, Part 8, must be submitted through the CSAT portal as these are federal laws which require both DHCS and SAMHSA’S approval.
All approved exception requests must be documented and maintained in the patient’s file.
