Step 3: Activating EPCS

Per DEA regulations, this process must be completed by a "trusted assistant" as an additional security measure. Whoever you have designated to receive your practice admin email (you may send to any email address you wish) will enter their info, and you will enter yours simultaneously, whether in-person, via screenshare, or any other means. We recommend sending this to someone you can be in the same room with to make it most efficient (co-worker during the day or family/friend in the evening).

Note: We suggest following these steps using a Google Chrome browser for optimal performance and compatibility.

1. Have the recipient of the email login into Rcopia using the credentials we provided through the following link. After the assistant logs in, go to the menu tab and click "Utilities," then on "Logical Access Control (LAC)."

2. Click on the "Active" radio button.

3. In the "Granting Administrator" section, enter your trusted assistant's first and last name.

4. Enter your NPI number under "Authorizing Prescriber," and click on ''Validate.''

5. Beneath your NPI, select your device from the list. 

6. Enter your signing passphrase.

7. Enter the six-digit PIN from your OTP token.

8. Click on ''Authorize'' to finalize the process.
