ePCS Service Level for Pharmacies and Providers

To send controlled substances to electronic prescribing networks, both the provider and the pharmacy must meet the criteria set by Surescripts and the DEA. The pharmacies are set up outside of the NextGen applications and downloaded into File Maintenance. You must set up the providers to meet the criteria. To check whether a pharmacy supports ePCS: In File Maintenance, select Master Files > Pharmacies. In the Retail Service Level section, the ePCS check box is selected if the pharmacy supports ePCS. Note: Because the pharmacy information was downloaded, you cannot change the setting. Enable a Provider to Send ePCS Parent topic: Electronic Prescriptions with SureScripts

Electronic Prescription of Controlled Substances

You can electronically submit a prescription for Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) controlled substances (CS) by using electronic Prescription of Controlled Substances (ePCS). ePCS uses the Surescripts retail networks of pharmacies and must be set up through File Maintenance and System Administrator. When you search for medications in NextGen® Mobile, the CS medications appear in red along with the DEA class codes; C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5. To control user rights for electronic prescriptions, System Administrator follows the DEA regulations to restrict eRx access rights in applications and practices. These measures rely on identity-proofing to prevent fraud. To comply with the DEA regulations, NextGen® Mobile providers can use any of the following ePCS authentication methods. Symantec™ VIP Token IdenTrust Mobile Authentication Service (MAS) For more information on setting up the authentication, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest ePrescribing User Guid
