Response from Dr. First w/ example

Here are the instructions on how to get past the Widget error - 

Step 1 - Go into Utilities

Step 2- Click on Signature Capture

Step 3 - Update Signature.

Per Dr.First:

Our products only work within the continental US. If the provider needs to prescribe while out of the country, you can recommend they get a VPN to access US Servers with.

In order to complete the LAC process it is highly recommended to have the provider and admin on the call because of the time sensitivity of the token device.

A couple things to cause error:

• Note Clicking the Active option in the Provider Selection

• Signing Password is invalid - Have the provider check that they can login on this website - https://ui.epcsdrfirst.com/pob/login

  • If the provider can't, have them reset the password by clicking Forgot Password

• Not updating the OTP Token Pin

  • The pin resets every 30 seconds. Authorize must be submitted before the expiration of the PIN.

  • 

• Browser issue

  • Make sure you are using Chrome.  Microsoft Edge can be utilized as a backup however Chrome is the preferred browser of ePrescribe

  • Clear your cache by following these instructions - https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop
