I'm trying to take transfers and new scripts as an intern and it's like a contest to see who can talk the fastest.
And the CVS system is not seeming very friendly... do I have to re-enter the pharmacy information for each script or is there a way to do multiple scripts in one go?
Also if I am transferring scripts from the profile is there a way to see the goddamn rx number once I have already started the transfer?
Is there an easy way to pull up a hardcopy when doing a transfer when the other pharmacist is asking if the script says albuterol inhaler as opposed to a specific brand? Or to see if they wrote for a specific multivitamin or if we just chose some random one off the shelf?
Also if you are transferring an on-hold shouldn't you pull up the hard copy seeing as the data entry hasn't been verified?
Also what info do I actually have to fill in when it asks for the other pharmacy info? If I actually tried to fill all of that crap out I would get hung up on. And why do pharmacists get so agitated when I ask for something so simple as the prescriber's phone number? Do they not need anything more than their name at other chains to pull them up in their computer?
And lastly, since I'm on my rant, if the CVS computer says "Original refills 12, refills remaining 10" that means the other pharmacy is getting 1+ 9 correct? I was getting confused because if a script originally had 12 refills plus the initial fill it would be 13 total fills which seemed unusual. Am I looking at this correctly?
What if the doctor writes for 30 pills with 1 refills and we dispense 10 pills but have to transfer it. What do we tell them? Written for 30 tablets with 50 tablets remaining? How the hell would they get that in their computer?
If anyone actually answers all of these I'll love you
