New RPh - Best way to transfer scripts out?

Transfer out is only for CVS to CVS transfers. To transfer to a competing pharmacy, the patient needs to have the competing pharmacy call you for the script and do it over the phone.

For the transfer out option it should just ask for the CVS store number, not fax number. You can go to F11 to find store info if you don’t know the store number. If it’s a 4 digit number make sure to add a zero at the beginning.

Then it will have a pop up confirming that it’s the right store and it will show the address and everything. You enter through that and then put the time that the patient wants to pick it up. Then credentials.

Can’t transfer narcotics of course. Controlled substances are ok as long as they’ve been filled once at your store (might vary state to state). And obviously has to have refills. And you usually can’t put things in as a waiter. I typically put 1 hour wait.
