Once you’ve completed identity proofing and registered for EPCS, you’re ready to complete Logical Access Control (LAC). This is the final step to be able to prescribe controlled substances.
When you created your ePrescribe profile in your SimplePractice account, you appointed someone as your granting administrator. After your EPCS registration and IDP are complete, both you and your granting administrator will receive an email with instructions on how to complete this step.
With your granting administrator in person with you, have them follow the steps in the email:
- Click Get your sign-in info from the email
- Log into Rcopia by DrFirst
- Create a new password
- Navigate to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
- Select Utilities > Logical Access Control (LAC)
- Next to your name, select Active in the Grant column
- Have your granting administrator enter their own first and last name in the Granting Administrator section to confirm your licenses
- As the authorizing prescriber, you’ll enter your NPI number, token type, passphrase, and one-time PIN (OTP) from your token
- Click Authorize
You’re now ready to start ePrescribing both controlled and non-controlled substances.
Note: If you receive an error message, see What if I get an error message: “Your Logical Access Control session has ended. No changes were made.”?
