Update on this older thread....
The problem with EPCS continues to exist. Although when receiving electronic refill requests for controlled drugs from a pharmacy, there is no need to update sigs and dispense/refill quantities, it remains impossible to get to the Newcrop screen under all other circumstances when sigs, disp numbers, and refills are not updated.
I have spoken with Newcrop personally, and demonstrated the problem via web session, and it clearly is a bug/block on AC's end. Has anyone from AC been put "on the case" to resolve this issue? It is simply impossible to go through someone's med list with 5 or 6 meds that have to be re-prescribed in order to make sure they have the proper sig/dispense#/quantity in order to generate ONE controlled substance electronically.
