E-Prescribing

Prescribe from the visit, not the desk

DocNow's e-prescribing module is built into the clinical workflow — not a separate portal. DEA-compliant EPCS for all substance classes, real-time formulary checks against the patient's payer, and Surescripts routing to any US pharmacy including long-term care. Post-acute clinicians who prescribe across multiple SNF and rehabilitation settings don't need to switch systems between visits.

Real-time formulary checks

DocNow checks every prescription against the patient's payer formulary before it's sent, flagging preferred alternatives and potential prior authorization requirements at the point of care — not after the patient has left.

  • Formulary tier and cost display at selection
  • Prior authorization alerts with step therapy guidance
  • Drug-drug interaction checking across the full med list

EPCS for controlled substances

Electronic Prescribing for Controlled Substances (EPCS) is fully supported. Two-factor authentication, DEA audit logging, and logical access controls that meet DEA 21 CFR Part 1311 requirements — without a separate software module.

  • Two-factor authentication for Schedule II–V
  • DEA-compliant audit trail on every controlled prescription
  • State PDMP query integration where available
