Spine surgeon Edward Shadid, MD, paid $110,000 to settle civil penalty from allegations he violated the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Western District of Oklahoma said in a May 11 news release.
The U.S. alleges that from January 2024 through July 2025 he failed to use DEA Form 222s when transferring Schedule II controlled substances between two of his practice locations. He also allegedly failed to maintain accurate records of transfers of Schedule IV controlled substances between the locations and didn’t get a separate DEA registration for one of his practice locations.
The $110,00 settlement doesn’t admit to liability and allows all parties to avoid the delay, expense, inconvenience and uncertainty in litigating the case.
