Regulatory Compliance
We handle the complexity.
You focus on your business.
Stay compliant without derailing your roadmap.
Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. But keeping pace with ever-evolving rules from the CMS and ASTP/ONC can wreak havoc on your business.
Multiple evolving requirements mean your legal, compliance, and development teams are stretched thin—diverting resources from your product roadmap and strategic priorities.
DrFirst takes the burden off your plate. Our proven regulatory expertise and compliant technology let you stay current with evolving standards while you focus on your core business.
HTI-4 Final Rule
ASTP/ONC’s latest rule mandates integration of real-time prescription benefit (RTPB) checks and electronic prior authorization (ePA) into provider workflows.
E-Prescribing Standard Upgrades
HTI-4 requires new FHIR-based API standards, including NCPDP SCRIPT standard version 2023011—a significant development lift for vendors managing multiple compliance requirements.

DrFirst Helps You Comply with EPCS Mandates
DrFirst has been at the forefront of electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) since it sent the nation’s first electronic prescription of a controlled substance. With EPCS legalized nationally, a majority of states have since mandated the use of EPCS for all controlled substances.
In addition, to handle the opioid epidemic, prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) are operated and mandated at the state level to ensure prescribers have the information they need to identify patients who are addicted, or at risk of becoming addicted, to these dangerous drugs.
