Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS)
Approved Certification Processes
DEA recently amended its regulations to specify the conditions under which controlled substance prescriptions may be issued electronically. As set forth in the regulations, before any electronic prescription or pharmacy application may be used to transmit prescriptions, a third party must audit the application for compliance with the requirements of 21 CFR part 1311, or a certifying organization whose certification process has been approved by DEA must verify and certify that the application meets the requirements of 21 CFR part 1311. The following list provides the names and contact information of certifying organizations whose certification processes have been approved by DEA.
