Once you have had your identity verified through ID.me and been approved in DrChrono, you can send electronic prescriptions for controlled substances (EPCS). With ID.me there are two ways you can perform multi-factor authentication (MFA) to send prescriptions: a push notification or a code generator.
Under Account > Account Settings > eRx Info you can see which option of 2-factor authentication (2FA/MFA) is set up for your account. You can set up both types, but only one can be used as the primary device. For further information on adding or changing devices, please see our resources and ID.me's support information.
