Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances

Public Act 17-131, Section 3, requires Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) starting on January 1, 2018 for all controlled substances. In addition to improving efficiency, this will help stop prescription fraud with fewer opportunities to duplicate or modify paper prescriptions.

The CT Department of Consumer Protection website contains up-to-date information regarding the law requirements for electronic prescribing of controlled substances.
