If you haven't set up your account to electronically subscribe controlled substances, please check out this article first so you can get started.
1. When ordering a controlled substance you'll get a notification above the prescription that states what level the controlled substance is. You must enter all required fields of the script in this screen.

Note: Some pharmacies will have warnings that they do not accept prescriptions for controlled substances. You can not send EPCS to these pharmacies.

Then click on the Preview Prescription button.
4. After previewing the prescription then click on the Ready to Sign box and while on the same screen scroll up to the green Send Prescription button.
5. The next screen will require your DrChrono password and the 6-digit passcode from the DUO mobile app on the provider's mobile device.
