Does registering give me access to prescribe non-controlled substances?

Yes, you can prescribe non-controlled substances once you register for iPrescribe.
 
To register, please refer to Step 1: Register for iPrescribe and follow the steps provided.

Why can't I prescribe controlled substances? 

To prescribe controlled substances you must: 

  • Complete Step 5: Activate electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS), which includes:
    • Downloading the ID.me Authenticator app.
    • Confirming your desired address to receive a physical device. 
    • Having a reference (admin) you listed verify that you are authorized for EPCS 
    • Verifying your identity as a prescriber via ID.me.
    • Entering your EPCS provider credentials and activating your profile.
  • Enter two-factor authentication when you sign off on a controlled substance prescription
    1. A password used to send controlled substance prescriptions 
    2. A one-time-pin from either a physical device or app associated with your account. 
      Note: DEA requires that the physical device or app that generates the one-time-pin resides on a different device than the one you use to prescribe. 

What is a token?

The physical device is also referred to as a key fob, hard token, or authenticator. 

The app is also referred to as a soft token or authenticator.

How do I add a DEA license to my account? 

You will need to register for iPrescribe again directly through DrFirst, so please submit a request to DrFirst Support.
