Behavioral health prescribing has rules general EHRs weren’t built for. PIMSY is.
PDMP checks, EPCS for controlled substances, DEA-compliant workflows, and MAT medication support are all built directly into the patient record through DrFirst and H2H Solutions. No system-switching, no duplicate data entry.
What happens when your prescriber has to leave the chart to check the PDMP?
They tab out, log into a separate state portal, look up the patient, come back, and document what they found. That’s five extra steps for every controlled substance prescription. In a busy psychiatric practice or MAT clinic, that adds up fast, and increases the chance something gets missed.
General-purpose ePrescribe tools weren’t designed with behavioral health workflows in mind. They don’t know that your psychiatric NP needs to check the PDMP before prescribing Adderall. They don’t have built-in workflows for Suboxone prescribing under a DEA X-waiver. They weren’t built for the documentation requirements that come with MAT programs.
PIMSY’s ePrescribe integration is different. The PDMP check, the interaction review, the medication history, and the prescription itself all live in the same workflow your clinicians already use. The compliance steps aren’t add-ons. They’re part of the flow.
What behavioral health prescribers actually need
-
PDMP check built into the prescription workflow, not a separate login -
EPCS for controlled substances that meets DEA requirements without workarounds
-
Medication history and interaction checking on the same screen as the patient record
-
MAT medication support for Suboxone, methadone, and similar prescriptions
-
Prescription history visible to the full care team inside the patient chart
-
Electronic delivery to pharmacies, no fax, no phone, no illegible handwriting
From patient record to pharmacy, with compliance built in
The same moves your prescriber makes today, minus the separate portal logins and the manual documentation in between.
Review the full clinical picture
Open the patient record and see the complete medication history, current prescriptions, and any flagged interactions, all before writing a new prescription. Your prescriber knows exactly what the patient is already taking and what the PDMP shows about fills at other pharmacies.
Write and verify the prescription
Select the medication, dose, and quantity. For controlled substances, the EPCS workflow handles the DEA authentication requirements. For PDMP-required states, the check is embedded in the workflow so your prescriber isn’t manually navigating to a state portal. Decision support flags interactions before the prescription is sent.
Send electronically, document automatically
The prescription goes directly to the pharmacy. No fax. No phone call. No illegible handwriting. The prescription is logged in the patient record, visible to the care team, and documented for compliance. For MAT patients, the full prescribing history stays in one place.
ePrescribe is one part of PIMSY
Prescribing is clinical. So is documentation, billing, and care coordination. All of it works inside PIMSY, with the patient record at the center.
Questions about ePrescribe in PIMSY
Does PIMSY support electronic prescribing of controlled substances?
Yes. PIMSY supports EPCS (Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances) through both DrFirst and H2H Solutions. The workflow is DEA-compliant and includes the two-factor authentication required for controlled substance prescriptions. This covers Schedule II-V medications, including the psychiatric and MAT medications most commonly prescribed by behavioral health providers.
Is PDMP checking required? How does PIMSY handle it?
Many states now require PDMP checks before prescribing controlled substances, and the requirements vary by state. PIMSY’s ePrescribe integration includes PDMP checking built into the workflow, so prescribers don’t have to navigate to a separate state portal and manually document what they found. The check happens inside the prescribing flow, and the result is documented in the patient record.
Which ePrescribe integration should we use, DrFirst or H2H?
DrFirst is typically the better fit for practices with frequent prescribing activity that benefit from clinical decision support, including drug interaction alerts and PDMP integration specifically built into the prescribing workflow. H2H Solutions handles full prescription generation for both controlled and non-controlled substances and may suit different program types. During your demo, PIMSY’s team can walk you through which integration fits your specific prescribers, practice type, and patient population.
Does PIMSY support prescribing for MAT programs?
Yes. Medication-assisted treatment prescribing, including Suboxone, methadone, and other MAT medications, is supported through PIMSY’s ePrescribe integration. The platform is built for the specific compliance requirements of MAT programs, including DEA rules and documentation expectations. Prescription history for MAT patients stays in the patient record, visible to the care team coordinating treatment.
Who can prescribe through PIMSY? Do NPs and LCSWs have prescribing access?
PIMSY’s ePrescribe works for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and prescribing LCSWs where state law permits prescribing. Access is controlled by role in the system, so prescribing capabilities are only available to the providers who are credentialed and authorized to prescribe. This is managed through PIMSY’s role-based access controls alongside your HR and credentialing records.
Does the prescription history integrate with the rest of the patient chart?
Yes. Prescription history lives inside the patient record in PIMSY, not in a separate ePrescribe module that doesn’t talk to the rest of the chart. Your care team can see what was prescribed, when, and by whom, alongside clinical notes, treatment plans, and progress documentation. For programs with multiple providers involved in a patient’s care, that visibility matters.
