From how I understand from my current pdoc is that you have to be a REMS certified pdoc to prescribe it. According to him, there are few prescribers in Louisville.
This is from the websites description:
Prescribers
•Must certify in the Clozapine REMS Program to prescribe Clozapine
•Must enroll all patients in the Clozapine REMS Program
•Must report patient ANC levels to the Clozapine REMS Program for every prescription of Clozapine
