Beginning Jan 1, 2024, Nebraska dentists who prescribe controlled substances must use electronic prescription technology.
In order to take action now and be compliant when the mandate takes effect, the NDA Board reviewed ePrescription options currently available and chose iCoreRx. iCoreRx is a one-stop software that speeds and simplifies the way you work, while improving patient outcomes.
“We want our members to have a compliant solution that is also a benefit to their practice. The cloud-based flexibility of iCoreRx allows doctors to prescribe any medication, including controlled substances, from any location. This provides better patient care and newly-discovered convenience for the doctor.”

iCoreRx and the Nebraska Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
Since 2018, Nebraska law has required that pharmacists and prescribers check a patient’s controlled substance prescription history through Nebraska’s PDMP.
iCoreRx offers an option to integrate with Nebraska’s PDMP to directly access the patient’s prescription drug monitoring (PDMP) history in just seconds. Streamline the process while ensuring adherence to Nebraska law and boosting patient safety.
Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) and iCoreRx
In 2020, Texas law required that pharmacists and prescribers check a patient’s PMP history through Texas PMP AWARxE before dispensing or prescribing controlled substances including: opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or carisoprodol.
iCoreRx offers an option to integrate with Texas PMP AWARxE. Streamline the process and improve prescription speed and efficiency while ensuring adherence to Texas law and boosting patient safety. The integration allows prescribers to directly access the patient's PMP report without logging into the Texas PMP site.
