Providers must be enrolled for ePrescribing prior to requesting enrollment for electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS). The practice can complete the order form in-app to request EPCS enrollment for one provider or multiple providers at once for a one-time setup fee of $75.00 per provider (billed to the account's next monthly invoice).

Once the EPCS enrollment order form is received by Tebra, providers will complete user registration and an Identity Proofing process with DrFirst. The providers will need:

A device (e.g., computer, tablet, etc.) with a camera or a smartphone
Photo ID: Driver's License, Passport, or State ID Card
Their Social Security Number, National Provider Identifier (NPI), and DEA Number

Review the EPCS FAQs for additional information.
