E-Prescribing

E-prescribing represents an unprecedented opportunity to reduce healthcare costs and improve the safety and efficiency of a process relied upon by millions of patients every day.

Learn how prescribers, pharmacists, payers, PBMs, technology vendors, hospitals and policymakers are benefitting from e-prescribing.

By using a computer or handheld device with e-prescribing software, prescribers can electronically access patient prescription benefit information and patient medication history, and route prescriptions to a patient's pharmacy of choice.

Surescripts certifies software used by prescribers, pharmacies and payers/PBMs for access to three core services: Prescription Benefit, Medication History and Prescription Routing.

Surescripts has upgraded its nationwide network to support Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS). With this capability expansion, Surescripts creates a pathway for physicians, in states in which it is allowed, to manage all their prescriptions within the electronic workflow, no longer having to prescribe controlled substances using separate methods of paper, phone, and fax.
