Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of e-prescribing?
E-Prescription software systems have many benefits! Your patients can get their medications much quicker.
Patients’ pharmacies can send you refill requests electronically, saving you time on the phone.
The e-prescription system will sync your patients’ health insurance and show you their eligibility benefits so you can give your patient a cost estimate for the drug(s).
You can search for generic drugs very easily, and the system updates automatically when a drug becomes inactive.
You can make common drugs prescribed your “favorites” and save templates with your signature for even quicker prescribing.
How much does an e-prescribing system cost?
There is a setup fee for getting started with e-prescribing. The setup fee is a one-time fee per provider and includes identity verification through IdenTrust which is a digital certificate that needs to be renewed every year.
EPCS requires additional verification via a “token” with each prescription. Hard tokens in the form of a keychain are available, as well as soft tokens in the form of a one-time password generated from a device—typically a mobile application—such as a smartphone or a tablet. There is a one-time fee to register your token(s) and if you lose it, there is a fee to replace it.
Stand-alone e-prescribing software will have a monthly cost per provider, starting at $100. The fee covers access, user accounts, backups, upgrades and updates, and typically support depending on the software provider.
If your electronic health record system offers e-prescribing, you will need to check with your vendor if the service is included in your maintenance plan. In some cases, EPCS is an additional fee while standard e-prescribing is included.
How do I sign up for e-prescribing controlled substances?
If you don’t have software already, you will need to choose software to send prescriptions electronically. If you are already using an electronic health records system with e-prescribing, check with your vendor or value-added reseller (VAR) if they offer electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS).
