Step 1: Register for iPrescribe (group & individual)

As of April 2023, the iPrescribe app will allow new or existing subscribers to register multiple providers who are new to iPrescribe under a single practice account.

One provider at the practice will be able to register and manage all users under a single account and credit card. Providers who register for iPrescribe for the first time, but will be registering as the only provider in their practice may also register. 

Registering new users with Doximity is not supported. Follow steps below to obtain iPrescribe credentials. 

Before you sign up provider(s) under a single practice, ensure you have the following information readily available:

  • NPI number
    • Your NPI registry profile must be up-to-date. iPrescribe uses this information to validate your account. To update your NPI record visit: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/ 
    • Ensure that your state license number in your NPI registry is marked as the primary taxonomy
    • Learn more: Update your NPI Registry
  • Access to your email
  • Driver’s license, or state ID for ID.me identity proofing
  • Social Security Number
  • Credit Card for your practice

We recommend registering in one sitting, though you may return to the registration process at key points.

  • Going to https://www.iprescribe.com/ and selecting Get Started button
  • Downloading the iPrescribe app directly from Google Play or Apple store

2. If you are completely new to iPrescribe, enter an NPI number and select Next.
