Each doctor who prescribes controlled substances electronically must complete a one-time registration for Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS). ID.me is the Credential Service Provider (CSP) that providers will use to register for EPCS.
Important: If a provider has been signed up with ePrescribe previously and already has an active Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) account through Zentry (formerly Verizon) or ID.me, that provider must link his or her EPCS account to ePrescribe instead of signing up for an account. The provider will need his or her Veradigm (formerly Allscripts) security account credentials, which are the login ID and password associated with the provider's ePrescribe user account.
