CLEAR Offers Secure Identity in Epic for Community Provider Access and Controlled-Substance Prescribing

CLEAR1 in Epic Toolbox now helps health systems verify outside providers and prescribing clinicians

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR® (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced that CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, is live in two new integrations in Epic Toolbox. One is for EpicCare Link, the portal community providers use to reach a health system's patient records, and the other is for electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS). Secure access starts with a single trusted identity, and these new integrations power new use cases for care teams and health system employees.

Healthcare workforce identity remains fragmented across hiring, login, account recovery, and prescribing workflows. Doctors, nurses, and staff are often required to prove who they are repeatedly, creating friction, slowing access to the tools they need, and introducing gaps that can be exploited through stolen credentials or increasingly sophisticated deepfakes. CLEAR1 already works with numerous health systems around the country to securely verify identities for employees and clinicians, streamlining access to clinical systems, applications, and facilities, supporting a safer, more efficient care environment. With these two integrations, CLEAR1 now powers more steps in the care team journey.

EpicCare Link for working with community providers. Health systems might rely on paper forms and manual reviews to give community and affiliated providers access to EpicCare Link. With CLEAR1, health systems can now verify providers during onboarding, and providers can create their own accounts by verifying with a selfie and a government ID. First announced in August 2025, the integration is now live and available in the Identity Verification for EpicCare Link Epic Toolbox Category.

Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances. Prescribing controlled medications requires strong proof of who is at the keyboard, without slowing down clinicians. Health systems can select CLEAR1 to verify clinicians who register to prescribe, and also to verify the person at the moment of prescribing, creating a safer, more frictionless experience. CLEAR1 has achieved Drummond Certified® status (independent testing and certification conducted by Drummond Group, LLC). The certification confirms that its identity proofing for individual and institutional practitioners, two-factor authentication, biometric, credential revocation, and EHR audit trail and prescriber validation capabilities meet applicable DEA requirements for electronic prescribing under 21 CFR Part 1311.

The integration is now live and available in the End User Authentication Epic Toolbox Category.

"Secure access shouldn't have to come at the expense of a delightful onboarding experience," said Kristin Milano, AVP, Cybersecurity, Ochsner Health. "CLEAR's integration with EpicCare Link creates an opportunity to make identity verification easier for referring providers and their staff while maintaining the trust and security these workflows require."

"Doctors and nurses shouldn't spend their shifts proving who they are," said David Bardan, SVP, General Manager and Head of Healthcare at CLEAR. "Getting into a patient's chart and prescribing a controlled medication are two more places they no longer have to start from scratch. We're using secure identity to make healthcare safer and easier for care teams, from the first day to the first patient, and every shift after."

Using CLEAR is simple and secure. After a quick one-time setup using a government-issued ID, users can re-verify in seconds with just a selfie, within their health system or anywhere CLEAR1 is used, designed to offer a frictionless alternative to paper forms, manual reviews, or passwords alone.

These integrations follow CLEAR's recent announcement that it has been selected by the US Department of Veterans Affairs for a new pilot initiative to modernize the veteran experience on VA.gov. The VA serves a community of roughly 17 million living U.S. Veterans and operates the nation's largest integrated health care system, serving 9.1 million enrolled Veterans each year.

CLEAR1 is Full Service certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) and Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2), high-assurance standards that are foundational to trusted healthcare data exchange.
