Interactive Map: States With EPCS Legislation
On January 1, 2021, the Every Prescription Conveyed Securely Act required EPCS use for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans. But it's not just the federal government mandating e-prescribing of controlled medications. Many states, including Washington and Michigan, also have Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) legislation taking effect soon on September 30th and October 1st, 2021. RXNT will keep you up to date on the ruling for your state! Check out this article: The State Of Electronic Prescribing For Controlled Substances In 2021.
Not only do providers need to comply with EPCS, but they also need to register with and receive an ID number from the DEA under DEA Title 21. Compliance also requires two-factor authentication tokens and strict safeguards for any passwords.
Don't stress! If you or your practice write controlled substance prescriptions in a state that requires EPCS, RXNT can get you certified in a matter of days. Check for your state's deadline below, and sign up for a demo of our EPCS-certified Electronic Prescribing software today!
