Electronic prescribing (ePrescribing or eRx) enables medical professionals to send prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy. ePrescribing reduces time spent on the phone, faxing pharmacies, and helps streamline renewal requests. As a provider, you can enroll in ePrescribing through Tebra at no additional charge. You must complete the ID.me verification process before enrolling for ePrescribing. ID.me is a federally-certified identity provider that verifies the identity of all prescribers and keeps your personal information safe.

Clinical electronic prescription transactions are administered by Surescripts®. Even if you have enrolled with Surescripts in the past, you must complete the verification process to set up ePrescribing in Tebra. Enrollment is done on an individual (not group) basis and must be completed by the provider while logged into their provider user account in Tebra.

Before you get started, you will need:

  • A device (e.g., computer, tablet, etc.) with a camera or a smartphone
  • Photo ID: Driver's License, Passport, Passport Card, or State ID Card
  • Your Social Security Number
  • Your National Provider Identifier (NPI)
  • Your existing ID.me account credentials (if applicable)
    Note: Duplicate accounts are the number one reason providers fail the eRx Enrollment self-service flow. You may have an existing ID.me account from signing up with another EHR, a government partner (e.g., IRS, DMV, etc.), or other means. 

Access eRx Enrollment

  1. Hover over the User icon and click on Practice Settings. The Practice Settings page opens.
  2. Click Clinical on the left menu. Additional setting options expands.
  3. Click eRx Enrollment. The eRx Enrollment page opens.

ID.me Account

The ID.me verification must be completed by the provider themselves.

Tip_Icon.png Important Note: Before creating a new ID.me account, providers should verify that they do not have an existing ID.me account from signing up with another EHR, a government partner (e.g., IRS, DMV, etc.), or other means. Creating a duplicate ID.me account is the number one reason providers fail the eRx Enrollment and will cause enrollment delays. If you are unable to create an ID.me account, contact Customer Care for assistance.

  1. Click Verify with ID.me. The Sign in to ID.me page opens.
  2. Sign in or Create an ID.me account:
    • If you have an ID.me account, enter the associated Email and Password.
      1. Click Sign In. The Complete Your Sign In page opens.
      2. Follow the prompts to sign into your ID.me account. The Secure Your Account or Verify Your Identity page opens.
        Note: Steps after sign in may vary based on the information entered when your ID.me account was created.

  • If you do not have a ID.me account, click Create an ID.me account. The Create an ID.me Account page opens.
    1. Enter an Email address, Password, and re-enter the password to Confirm Password.
      Tip_Icon.png Tip: ID.me recommends providers use their personal email address to create an account rather than a work email address. Personal email addresses are less likely to change and users still maintain access to their personal email addresses when they change employers.
    2. Click to select "I agree the ID.me Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" to agree.
    3. Click Create Account. The Confirm Your Email Address page opens.
      Note:

      • If you are unable to create an ID.me account, , contact Customer Care for assistance.
    4. Access your email and click Confirm your email in the ID.me welcome email. The Secure Your Account page opens.
      Note: The link to confirm your email expires after 15 minutes.
      • If you are unable to click the button in your email, enter the 6-digit code from your email and click Continue to proceed. The Secure Your Account page opens.

After you verify your identity with ID.me, Tebra will complete the final steps of the ePrescribing enrollment by setting you up with Surescripts. You will be notified by email within 3-5 business days when your account is ready to ePrescribe patient medications or if additional information is required.

If you were previously enrolled with Surescripts and require a change of vendor, allow up to 7 business days to complete your enrollment. You will be notified by email when your account is ready to ePrescribe patient medications or if additional information is required. 

If applicable, you can enroll for electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS), after your eRx enrollment is complete.
