Steps to complete account setup  

1. Opt in to enable push notifications; this allows the app to notify you of updates

2. Accept the terms of use

3. Create security questions and answers.

iPrescribe will prompt you to choose 3 questions to strengthen your account security and facilitate password recovery.

4. Set up an e-signature.

DrFirst attaches your handwritten signature to e-prescriptions sent to fax-only pharmacies or when an EDI failure occurs. If you do not submit your signature, DrFirst cannot include a signature on faxed prescriptions. Pharmacies may call you to confirm the validity of any faxed prescription that arrives without a signature.

5. Confirm your email address.

Once you enter your preferred email address, check your email to confirm the address you shared, then come back to iPrescribe.

If there is an issue with your email, iPrescribe will prompt you to confirm again. Change email at any time in Settings. Remember to check your SPAM folder if you do not see a confirmation email. 

6. Activate Patient Finder. 

Patient Finder allows you to quickly locate and manage patient information for e-prescribing.

You can now log in to iPrescribe and begin prescribing non-controlled substances.
