The ePCS application enables the user of the application to authorize healthcare providers access to prescribe certain or all schedules of controlled substances. Pertinent information, such as the Prescriber's VA#, Prescriber's DEA#, Subject Alternative Name (SAN), and other data elements, are entered via the ePCS application.
