KASPER Prescription Upload Program

Pharmacies are required to report to KASPER within one business day of dispensing a controlled substance in KY as provided for under KRS 218A.202  and 902 KAR 55:110.

Pharmacies should report dispensed controlled substance information through the KASPER Data Collection System. Reporting data to KASPER requires establishing an account via the Cabinet single sign-on system, Kentucky Online Gateway, then registering as an uploader in the KASPER Data Collection System. 

Data Reporting Waivers

Pharmacies with a DEA license who certify that they do not dispense any controlled substances in Kentucky must register as a KASPER data reporter. However, once registered CHFS can provide a reporting waiver email. Dispensers can request a reporting waiver by contacting KASPER staff at eKASPER.Admin@ky.gov
