Using ePrescribe, you can create and send prescriptions electronically to your patients’ pharmacies. Creating and sending prescriptions electronically is simpler than using a script pad and provides you with instant checks on drug interactions, dosage levels, and patient-specific factors including prior adverse reactions. Creating prescriptions electronically protects patient information through privacy and security measures including prescriber authentication.
Important: To use the ePrescribe web service, you must enable secure password protection in Dentrix, have your practice’s Fax number, have the provider’s credentials (email address, DEA number, DEA license expiration, DEA schedule, State ID number, State license expiration, and NPI), register for the service, activate ePrescribe, and set up an administrator.
