EPCS MFA+ Setup (Step by Step)

ScriptSure now includes a new feature to allow medical providers to approve controlled substances easier.  Traditionally, the process for approving a controlled substance is to Log in to ID.me with a username and password and then approve via the ID.me app by push notification, code generator or use a FOB to approve.

The following new feature called EPCS MFA+ allows medical providers to avoid having to login with their ID.me username and password every time a controlled prescription is going to be sent.  Instead, medical providers can create a 4-digit code to replace the ID.me login.  This new feature carries the additional benefit of no longer accessing a separate window controlled by ID.me.  Users no longer need to account for pop-up blocker and cross-site traffic enablement in the browser and on the device being used.

Both existing and new medical provider users of ScriptSure follow the same process to setup their EPCS MFA+.  Supporting users cannot setup EPCS MFA+ for their profile.

The primary setup of ID.me account is STILL REQUIRED FOR ALL PROVIDERS.  The setup of EPCS MFA+ is secondary to the provider’s ID.me account setup.
