Partner Bio

If you are in need of a new certificate or renewal please contact eMDs/Aprima support via email at: [email protected] 

eMDs/Aprima has teamed with IdenTrust to ensure our customers have access to all the benefits of Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances (EPCS) while maintaining compliance with the DEA's authentication regulations.

Through this partnership, eMDs/Aprima is now able to provide certified identity proofing and issuance of digital certificates that will be stored on tokens and used to digitally sign and electronically send prescriptions for controlled substances.

By providing the required information to IdenTrust, you will have the ability to complete remote identity proofing and two-factor authentication for two years, as required by both the DEA and NYS EPCS mandates.

The digital certificate and token from IdenTrust can be used for eMDs/Aprima and other ePrescribing products on the IdenTrust network.

eMDS/Aprima will provide you with a link to obtain your product.

To complete your identity proofing:

  • Initial sign up on-line takes about 15 minutes. You will need to provide your name, address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security number, credit card number, and driver's license.
  • After registering, your token and an Activation Code are sent by mail within a week.

Choosing Your Certificate

IdenTrust Global Common (IGC) digital certificates are cross-certified with the U.S. Federal Bridge Certification Authority, enabling trust, and interoperability with a wide range of systems and applications. Each individual IGC Certificate includes both a certificate for authentication/digital signing and a certificate for encryption.
