I really hope Pharmacist and doctors take the CDC's recommendations seriously because it's the complete opposite right now especially with pharmacy/pharmacist. The fact the CDC has to remind the pharmacist that you can transfer a schedule ii medication is really sad. There are way too many Pharmacists out there who like to hold your prescription hostage when they are out because "you might be a drug seeker".
I'm a pharmacist. This is mostly not true. There is a way to transfer it under very specific circumstances. However the majority of pharmacies do not have the appropriate functionality within their software to do so.
Under very specific circumstances what circumstances? The DEA's regulations is pretty cut and dry. A patient can request the transfer of a schedule II prescription on a one-time basis.
Also how is it that "the majority of pharmacies do not have the appropriate functionality within their software to do so." when NCPDP's SCRIPT standard version 2017071 has that feature according to the DEA and NCPDP and version 2017071 is required if the pharmacy accept Medicaid which a CDC paper says is 90% of pharmacies outside of small rural areas...
That’s by intentional design choice though.
