What is EPCS and does my practice need it?
EPCS (Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances) is required for prescribers writing Schedule II–V controlled substances under Medicare Part D and in most US states. If your practice writes any controlled substances — common in psychiatry, addiction treatment, pain management — you need an EPCS-certified ePrescribe solution.
