As part of Step 5: Activate E-Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) in iPrescribe, you will need to enter a verification code from a mailer (letter with QR code) into iPrescribe.
This action finalizes your ability to e-prescribe controlled substances in iPrescribe.
Prerequisite: Completed ID.me verification in Step 5: Activate EPCS in iPrescribe
Reminder: You received 2 separate items in the mail:
-
An authenticator/hard token to e-prescribe controlled substances
- If you receive your authenticator/hard token in the mail before the mailer, please keep it; you'll use it right after you complete EPCS activation as part of Step 6: Add Controlled Substance Tokens to Your iPrescribe Account
- A mailer (letter with QR code) to complete the EPCS activation at your DEA-listed business; it should arrive 5-10 business days after you generated it during Step 5: Activate EPCS in iPrescribe
