So medicare is going to require EPCS by 1/1/2021.

I imagine some other beneficiaries might require it before that.

In the last quote we got from Centricity they wanted over $8,000 for EPCS for 1 provider.

Anyone willing to share what they paid?

I can't imagine it taking very much to "implement".

Thanks.

That is pretty pricey something were all going to have to look at. I would be interested as well as to the cost others are paying. Was your quote through Imprivata ?

Hello everyone. We are in the process of implementing EPCS now. I have been working directly with our Athena Sales Rep.

We recently signed a contract for all 50 of our MD's. The cost is $499/provider per year. As for Imprivata, there is a one time charge for two factor authentication and implementation (technical services) for $1150 and another charge for two factor authentication (implementation services) for $3,000. Other than that, it is required to have 3rd party fingerprint readers in case the two token authentication fails - we have 7 of those for $1,176 total.

We are not going live with EPCS until 11/1/19, after we get back from CHUG, so that we can speak with end users who have already implemented EPCS to get direct feedback. Hope this helps.
