EPCS DEA

RXNT’s E-Prescribing meets all EPCS requirements

In response to COVID-19, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) allows for the prescription of controlled substances without an in-person medical exam. However, prescribers must follow these rules: 

  1. There must be a legitimate medical reason for the prescription.
  2. Prescriber and patient must have real-time, virtual communication before prescribing. 
  3. Prescriber must act in accordance with applicable federal and state laws

Prescriptions for controlled substances can be issued either by prescribing electronically or calling a pharmacy directly with an emergency prescription.
