Correct. You can used a driver's license or passport if it has your picture. I don't know what would happen if your driver's license has a different name than your AC. I don't think I would want to change my name in AC.

During the registration process, there are a couple of places, I believe, to download the app to your phone. There is one place where it sends a text message with the app. But, Authy is in the Google Play Store or the iTunes Store.

I think you will be happy with your choice to go with EPCS and Exostar. It is just so much better. And, as you probably know, prescription diversion, at least for us, has decreased dramatically. No more I lost my scripts. No more going to multiple pharmacies. No more "the print on the script is no longer legible."

It is also nice in EPCS to be able to use the magnifying glass in current meds and select a prescription, then scroll to the bottom of the page and see what scripts were sent, where, and did they go. And, if the pharmacy says they didn't get them, you can click on Lost Scripts and NC will look into it and find out where the problem happened.

I do hope that AC is able to get with users quickly, and they are as efficient as NC in setting it up. I was lucky to have NC help me and my NP.

NC is also working on a new GUI, and they listen to my ideas. Unfortunately, the developers take about three to four months to come out with a new version. We are working on a few things that will help with the system. The ultimate goal is to be able to do EPCS directly from the Prescription Writer in AC, but that may be a long time away.
