PECOS and E-Prescribing Process

Resident E-Prescribing Request Process 

Summary 

The Program Coordinator team is responsible for ensuring that Residents meet all credentialing, training, and security requirements before they can obtain e-prescribing access in CareConnect.  This SOP is to ensure a resident meets all the requirements and is granted e-prescribing access as soon as requirements are met. 

PECOS Enrollment: 

Create a ticket for the Physician Billing Office to begin the PECOS enrollment process: 

  1. Go to: https://mednet.uclahealth.org/ 
  2. Select “Submit an IT request” 
  3. Click “Submit a Ticket”

  4. Please indicate on the ticket the request is for e-prescribing access and add the below information: 

    Short Description:  Enroll Request into PECOS (Assign ticket to "PBO Provider Enrollment" assignment group)

    Description: (copy and paste these questions and answer them) 

    Please start the PECOS enrollment process for the following residents: 

    • Name of the provider
    • NPI number
    • CC ID number (PID is the same as the pager number and both are in MedHub)
    • Practice address, phone and fax number
    • DEA number
    • Medical license number
  5. Click "Submit"

Adding the DEA Number to Residents:

  1. Go to: https://mednet.uclahealth.org/
  2. Select “Submit an IT request”
  3. Click “Submit a Ticket”
  4. Fill out the Resident E-Prescribing Request form for each resident.

  5. Fill out the ticket with the verbiage below, attach the Resident E-Prescribing Request form and click submit:

    Short Description:  Add DEA to Residents (Assign to CC SER)

    Description:  (copy and paste these questions and answer them)

    Please update the residents in the attachment with the DEA number

  6. Click "Submit"

Once UCLA receives electronic verification that the provider is enrolled in PECOS the provider will fall onto a report for the SER team.

Sometimes the resident and or PBO will receive notification that the resident has been enrolled in PECOS before CMS updates the report the SER team receives.

Allow at least one week from the time the resident/PBO receives notification before contacting the SER team.

If after 1 week the resident cannot e-prescribe, create a ticket in ServiceNow for the CC SER team to investigate the issue.
