Step 1: Register for iPrescribe (providers)

Purpose: Set up an iPrescribe account for yourself or purchase multiple prescriber licenses for new iPrescribe users in your practice under a single practice account. To learn more about accounts and pricing, visit iprescribe.com/pricing
Audience: Providers with an NPI 

Note: If you are a provider and already set up your practice using the I'm setting up for a provider button, please add yourself as a team member and initiate identity proofing from the emailed invite.

Before you begin

What to expect

You can register multiple providers and staff users for iPrescribe under a single practice account. 

  • iPrescribe charges per provider. Staff users are free.
  • Invited providers complete identity proofing before they can e-prescribe. Providers who e-prescribe controlled substances (EPCS) also set up two-factor authentication. 
Know before you start

Set aside time to complete registration in one sitting and have necessary information: 

  • NPI number
    • Your NPI registry profile must be up-to-date, as iPrescribe uses this information to validate your account.
    • Ensure your state license number in your NPI registry is marked as the primary taxonomy.
    • To update your NPI record visit: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/ 
  • Access to your email
  • Driver’s license, or state ID for ID.me identity proofing
  • Social Security Number
  • Credit Card for your practice

  8. Select Continue to Payment to enter credit card information into Stripe, which iPrescribe uses to process payments.

  10. Next, the app will take you through identity proofing in ID.me when you select Launch ID.me.
    For instructions on this process, view Identity Proofing with ID.me
  11. Once ID.me verifies your identity, log in again to iPrescribe to begin e-prescribing non-controlled substances.

Note: You will need to complete a separate process to e-prescribe controlled substances (EPCS). Learn more in Activate E-prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) in iPrescribe.

If you want to add additional team members to your practice, see Account Management.

Account Management

Add practice Team Members

After completing identity proofing with ID.me, you will see a success message and a button that prompts you to Invite members of your practice to your group account. 

You may log in now or at a later time to access iPrescribe Account Management (via main menu) and invite members of your practice. If you exit and need to return, use this link https://account.iprescribe.com/account-management, then access Account Management from the iPrescribe menu.

You became the practice administrator when you registered the practice, allowing you to:

  • Manage users
  • Modify permissions
  • Purchase new licenses

You may designate an additional administrator while setting up practice Team Members.

1. Log in with your username and password. The Account Management screen opens.
Note: If you are a prescriber who will prescribe for the practice and initiated practice setup with the I'm setting up for a provider button, please add yourself as a team member and access your emailed invite to begin identity proofing. 

2. Select Team Members > Add Member, then select the member type:

Questions

What if I need to add more team members later?

Log into the app to add more team members.

What if I run out of licenses?

When you try to add a provider but have used all prescriber licenses, the app prompts you to purchase another license using the credit card saved in your account. You can only purchase 1 license at a time.

What if I want to add a prescriber to my practice that already has an iPrescribe account?

Currently, you may only invite prescribers to your practice who are new to iPrescribe.

If you wish to invite someone with an existing iPrescribe account, they will need to deactivate their current account and re-register with a new account under your practice.

What if I don't want to be a practice administrator?

By default, the registering provider is a practice admin. After designating another staff member as an administrator, the Admin toggle in your profile may be updated to NO.
