In NYS controlled substances and first fill prescriptions cannot be transfered to another pharmacy, correct? Well say a patient drops a controlled script off at one CVS and decides they want to pick it up at a different CVS. Does this count as 2 different pharmacies and the transfer cannot be done under the law, or is it 1 pharmacy since they are both CVS?

also can someone please link me where in NY law it says controls cant be transfered because I cannot find.

Two pharmacies owned by the same entity are still two pharmacies.

No, can't transfer. Wherever the patient dropped off the controlled Rx is where they have to pick it up. No transfers at all for original fills or refills.
