Note: Only an Administrator will have the capability of performing LAC. The Administrator must be logged into their own Osmind account and must be a staff user, not a provider. Users with an NPI on their own profile may function as Administrators but do not have access to LAC.
The designated practice administrator who will complete LAC will:
1. Log in to Osmind and select 'e-Prescribing' from the top right corner drop down and expand either 'Messages' or 'Pending prescriptions'.
2. Go the the main (hamburger) menu on the top left corner.
3. Select Utilities.
4. Select Logical Access Control (LAC).
5. To locate the provider, enter provider information in the search field, then click Search.
First Name
Last Name
NPI
6. Click the Active radio button for the appropriate/desired prescriber to grant EPCS authorization.
Conversely, to disable EPCS prescription permissions, Admins can click Inactive.
7. Under Granting Administrator, the administrator will enter their own first and last name as it appears on their user account.
8. Under Authorizing Prescriber, the administrator will populate the Enter NPI field with the provider's NPI number, then click Validate.
9. The Provider will complete the remaining fields, then click Authorize. Alternatively, any provider with an EPCS status of ENROLLED in EPCS Gold may substitute for the requesting provider.
Choose a Device from list: This field should auto-populate all active registered tokens.
Please ensure the token being used is selected.
Enter the signing passphrase: The provider should have already set the signing passphrase (controlled substance password) during EPCS enrollment.
Enter the One Time Pin (OTP) from the selected token: This six-digit code generates every 30 seconds.
10. You will be redirected to a page that will prompt you to click Refresh. Doing so will reload the LAC page with the desired grant change(s) applied.
Note: If you receive the error "Your Logical Access Control session has ended. No changes were made" please repeat this process and be sure the Active button is selected in Step 4.
Congratulations, the EPCS grant has now been activated, and the provider can now start prescribing controlled substances electronically!
