Common Questions About Pharmacy Transfers
Do I need to contact my doctor before transferring?
In most cases, no. If you have active refills on your prescription, the new pharmacy contacts your existing pharmacy directly to transfer the prescription. If you have zero refills left, the new pharmacy will reach out to your prescribing doctor on your behalf to request a renewal.
How long does a pharmacy prescription transfer take?
Submitting the digital transfer request through Leaderboard Rx takes less than 60 seconds. Retail pharmacies typically process and fill the transferred prescription within 2 to 24 hours.
Can controlled substances be transferred?
Federal and state regulations vary for controlled substances. Non-controlled maintenance medications (like blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes drugs) can be transferred freely. Certain Schedule III-V medications can be transferred once, while Schedule II medications require a new electronic prescription from your doctor.
