How to Write a Controlled Prescription?
Only a prescriber who has completed the EPCS registration process will be able to transmit a controlled medication through PracticeSuite. It’s one hour one time set up with DEA Compliant Two-Factor Authentication & ID Proofing.
A user that is NOT EPCS certified is able to prepare the Rx and leave it pending for the EPCS certified prescriber, however the EPCS certified prescriber must be logged in to transmit a controlled Rx.
The prescription can be done from notes for visits and from the face sheet for non-visits/refills.
For Visits, Click on ‘Prescription’ within encounter notes to redirect to Newcrop Portal.
For non-visits/refills, Click on the Rx icon from the face sheet to redirect to Newcrop Portal.
