The ultimate guide to EPCS mandates
The 2020 deadlines are fast approaching!
What is EPCS?
More than half of states in the U.S. have Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) mandates that have either taken effect or are approaching quickly. It can take time to do what’s needed to comply with the EPCS mandates—beginning the process now helps you stay ahead of the deadlines.
Using an electronic prescription tool is more than an efficient way to write prescriptions, and it’s also an important weapon in the fight to prevent drug overdoses. In fact, e-prescribing is part of the federal “Every Prescription Conveyed Securely” EPCS mandate that takes effect in 2021.
Deadline: January 1, 2020
Effective January 1, Arizona, Iowa, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island will require EPCS. This is part of an ongoing trend across the U.S., including the federal EPCS mandate that takes effect in 2021. To see the requirements and exceptions for each state, check out the tailored pages below.
