The Regrant and Finalize Grant procedures are both performed from the Administration: e-Rx ID.me IDP & EPCS Registration page in EHR Setup.
Open Setup
- Log in to NextGen® Office as an Administrator.
- Select Admin.
- In EHR Setup, select e-Rx ID.me IDP & EPCS Registration.
- Select Admin > Grant/Revoke Prescriber.
Grant
The prescriber cannot grant or regrant privileges to themselves. An EPCS administrator other than the prescriber (e.g., a different prescriber, nurse, administrative staff) can grant privileges.
First Administrator Steps
- Select Grant EPCS. List of the prescribers who are ready for granting EPCS access are displayed with the EPCS statuses RevokedEPCSAccess and GrantEPCSAccess.
- Select the name of the prescriber and select Grant.
- A success message as Grant Successful is displayed and the prescriber is granted EPCS access.
Finalize Grant
The prescriber who is being regranted privileges can finalize for themselves or any other EPCS-activated prescriber can finalize.
Prescriber/Second Administrator Steps
- Select Finalize Grant EPCS. List of the prescribers who are ready for granting EPCS access are displayed with the EPCS statuses RegrantEPCSAccess and GrantedEPCSAccess.
- Select the name of the prescriber with GrantedEPCSAccess status and select Finalize.
- You will land in the Finalize EPCS Registration screen.
- Enter the password received on your ID.me Authenticator app and select Submit.
- Your EPCS registration is complete. A message is shown as Finalize Grant Successful.
The prescriber is now finalized for transmitting controlled substances electronically. Note that the prescriber is now in the list of administrators and in the Revoke EPCS Privileges section, meaning that this prescriber can be revoked, but is now active for EPCS.
To verify that Finalize was performed successfully, check the EPCS Logical Access Control Rules with ID.me.
Re-grant
Once the prescriber's access is revoked, the prescriber will be in RevokedEPCSAccess status. The prescriber will have to undergo the grant and finalize grant processes for being regranted with the EPCS privileges.
