EPCS Registration Part 1: Verify Prescriber Information

  • Updated

In order to send prescriptions for controlled substances to a pharmacy electronically, providers must register for Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS). EPCS registration is a three-part process that can be completed from the NewCrop Admin tab. The first step is to verify prescriber information. 

Before you Begin:

  • Download the Twilio Authy app. This is a free mobile app for two-factor authentication that you will need to complete the EPCS registration process.

Verify Prescriber Information

  1. Submit the provider's information from the registration page. 

    NOTE: Some users also have the ability to register for EPCS from a link in their Electronic Health Record (EHR).

  2. Enter your Name exactly how it appears on your drivers license. Enter your Home Address (do not use an office address), and Email Address, then click Continue.

    NOTE: The prescriber's DEA Number auto populates from the EHR. If this is incorrect, the change must be made in the EHR.

  4. Click the Order Token button.

    NOTE: It typically takes 3-5 business days to receive the hardware token. You do not need to wait to receive the hardware token to continue the EPCS registration process. You can add the hardware token to your account later.
