Maryland: 2022 State
EPCS Mandate
The deadline was January 1, 2022. Is your software certified?
RXNT Will Help You Comply in Maryland
On January 1st, the state of Maryland will take an important step towards enhancing prescription security and reducing the likelihood of fraudulent prescribing by requiring electronic prescriptions for all controlled medications. Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) mandates and legislation is crucial to curb the opioid epidemic and safely prescribe. As of November, 2021 only 48% of prescribers are enabled for EPCS. For more specific information about the Maryland EPCS ruling, see the Senate Bill 166/House Bill 512.
Steven Anderson, President and CEO of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) said “The use of secure technology rather than paper prescriptions helps decrease prescription drug diversion and fraud and also has benefits in a situation like the current pandemic.“
Be aware! Disciplinary action will be taken by the relevant and appropriate health occupations board for prescribers who are noncompliant with the legislation. Is your practice equipped to handle the mandate?
Located just outside of Maryland’s capital, RXNT has spent over 20 years helping the local health community to provide better care. We are wholeheartedly behind the state legislation and applaud Gov. Larry Hogan for enacting the bill. We’ve pioneered the electronic prescribing software industry since 1999, and we’ve been EPCS-certified by the DEA since legislation was enacted in 2010. Our experience translates into a proven, secure, affordable medical solution that will have you e-prescribing within 10 business days or less!*
