Your ID.me account is separate from your iPrescribe account. We have partnered with ID.me to perform identity proofing (verifying your identity) for iPrescribe. Identity proofing is required to use iPrescribe. This ensures security for you and your patients. This process can be done in 15 minutes.

To confirm your identity, have these ready:

• Access to your email
• NPI number

• A driver's license, state ID, passport, or passport card
