DrFirst - e-prescriptions on Atlas.md
The DrFirst Rcopia integration with Atlas.md allows you to e-prescribe via their 3rd party platform. Rcopia is a standalone product, but it integrates with Atlas.md so that your prescription information is transferred automatically to your patient charts. There are associated fees for the use of the Rcopia platform, which you can review below.
Pricing and Billing
- $475 per doctor for the first year, including set-up fee
- $400 per doctor every following year
- $525 one-time setup fee for PDMP enrollment, plus an annual usage fee of $60 per doctor (these costs are optional depending on whether or not you choose to enroll with a PDMP vendor)
- Free for nurses, staff, and supporting team
- Payments are processed annually
- Annual payments will be included in your regular subscription invoices and you’ll be able to review them from the Account > Clinic Billing page
