NextGen® Enterprise EHR Help
ePCS prescribers can digitally sign and send Electronic Prescriptions of Controlled Substances (ePCS). Access to the ePCS prescriber role is restricted. Two ePCS registrars are required to grant or remove a provider's ePCS prescriber access, and one of these registrars must use two-factor authentication as part of the process. The ePCS prescriber access authorization process involves steps by both the system administrator and the two ePCS registrars. Granting ePCS prescriber access is logged as part of the ePCS audit trail, which is available as a report in NextGen® Enterprise. For information about the ePCS Auditable Events report, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Reports Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR . Before you can grant ePCS prescriber access to a provider, the following setups must be completed on the General tab for a provider: Assigned provider has retail service level of ePCS.

System Administrator Help
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations, providers who want to send Electronic Prescriptions of Controlled Substances (ePCS) must be identity-proofed by appropriate persons within a practice. As a step in this process, the NextGen Healthcare administrator must associate a two-factor authentication (TFA) credential with the provider’s NextGen Healthcare user ID and activate that credential. The credential works only with NextGen® Enterprise applications. You can activate a provider's token to enable TFA. The token can be either an issued VIP or IndenTrust hard token or a software token that was downloaded onto a smartphone. Because at least one ePCS registrar must have TFA to grant user ePCS prescriber rights, non-ePCS prescribers can also have TFA tokens activated. The user must be present for the activation. Although users can have multiple credentials, only one is necessary. Note: If you do not set up a credential for a provider, the provider can send the pTwo-Factor Authentication Credentials for ePCS
