PRESCRIPTION TRANSFER ASSISTANCE
Ready to Transfer Your Prescriptions?
Call Khang Pharmacy with your current pharmacy information and the prescriptions you would like us to review for transfer.
Call (408) 622-8068How Prescription Transfers Work
A Simple Starting Point
Contact Khang Pharmacy
Tell us which prescriptions you would like to move and where they are currently being filled.
We Review the Information
We review the medication, prescription information and transfer situation to determine the appropriate next step.
Transfer Coordination
For prescriptions eligible for transfer, we can coordinate with the transferring pharmacy as appropriate.
Prescription Processing
Once the necessary prescription information is available, we can process the prescription based on medication availability, insurance and other applicable requirements.
What Information Should I Have Ready?
A Few Details Can Help Us Get Started
The name and contact information of the pharmacy currently filling your prescriptions.
Medication names, prescription numbers, medication bottles or a current medication list can be helpful.
Bring your current prescription insurance information so we can process eligible prescriptions appropriately.
Your prescriber's name and contact information may be useful, especially if a new prescription or clarification is needed.
Can Every Prescription Be Transferred?
Many prescriptions with eligible remaining refills can be transferred between pharmacies, but not every prescription can be handled in exactly the same way.
Transfer requirements may depend on the medication, prescription status, remaining refills, applicable federal and state requirements, and whether a new prescription from the prescriber is needed.
Controlled medications can have additional transfer restrictions. Instead of assuming that a prescription can or cannot be transferred, contact Khang Pharmacy and we can review the specific situation.
Common Prescription Transfer Situations
Different Situations May Require Different Next Steps
Many eligible prescriptions with remaining refills may be transferred from the current pharmacy.
A new prescription or refill authorization from the prescriber may be necessary.
An expired prescription may require a new prescription from the prescriber rather than a transfer.
Additional rules may apply. We can review the specific prescription and explain the appropriate next step.
Contact us before initiating the transfer if availability is a concern. Supply can change and availability is not guaranteed.
Provide your current insurance information so we can process eligible prescriptions under the appropriate coverage.
Insurance & Prescription Transfers
Changing pharmacies does not automatically mean your insurance coverage changes, but pharmacy network participation, medication coverage, copays, deductibles and other benefits can vary by plan.
Khang Pharmacy works with Medi-Cal Rx, Medicare prescription drug plans and many commercial prescription insurance plans. Contact us if you would like us to review your pharmacy information before transferring your prescriptions.
More Than Moving a Prescription
Once your prescriptions are established at Khang Pharmacy, we can also help with ongoing pharmacy needs such as refill coordination, medication questions and other available services.
Patients managing multiple ongoing medications may also want to learn about Khang MedPack Care, and eligible patients may have prescription delivery options depending on location and circumstances.

Prescription Transfer Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions When Changing Pharmacies
Select a question below to learn more about common prescription transfer situations.
1. Starting a Prescription Transfer Getting Started & What Information You Need
How do I transfer my prescriptions to Khang Pharmacy?
Call Khang Pharmacy at (408) 622-8068 and tell us which prescriptions you would like to move and where they are currently being filled. We can review the information and determine the appropriate next step for eligible prescriptions.
What information do I need to transfer a prescription?
Helpful information includes your current pharmacy's name and contact information, medication names or prescription numbers, your current insurance information and your prescriber's information when available.
Do I need to contact my old pharmacy myself?
For prescriptions eligible for transfer, Khang Pharmacy can generally coordinate with the transferring pharmacy as appropriate. Certain situations may require additional involvement from you or your prescriber.
Can I transfer only some of my prescriptions?
Yes. You can ask us to review specific prescriptions for transfer. You do not necessarily have to move every medication at the same time.
2. Timing, Refills & Prescription Status Transfer Timing, No Refills & Expired Prescriptions
How long does a prescription transfer take?
Transfer timing varies. It can depend on how quickly the transferring pharmacy responds, the prescription status, whether additional information is needed, medication availability and whether the prescriber must be contacted.
If you are running low on medication, tell us when you contact the pharmacy so we understand the timing concern.
What happens if my prescription has no refills left?
If there are no authorized refills remaining, a new prescription or refill authorization from the prescriber may be required. When appropriate, Khang Pharmacy can help send a refill request to the prescriber.
What if my prescription has expired?
An expired prescription may require a new prescription from the prescriber. We can review the prescription information available and explain what appears to be needed.
Should I wait until I am almost out of medication to transfer?
It is generally better to contact the pharmacy before your medication supply becomes urgent. Transfers sometimes require communication with another pharmacy or prescriber, and medication availability can also affect timing.
3. Special Medication Situations Controlled Medications, Stock & New Prescriptions
Can controlled substance prescriptions be transferred?
Controlled substance prescriptions are subject to additional federal and state requirements, and the rules can depend on the medication and prescription. Contact Khang Pharmacy so we can review the specific situation rather than assuming the prescription is transferable.
What if Khang Pharmacy does not currently have my medication in stock?
Medication availability can change. If stock is a concern, contact us before initiating the transfer so we can review the medication and current situation. Availability cannot be guaranteed.
My doctor just prescribed a new medication. Is that a transfer?
No. If the prescription has not already been filled or established at another pharmacy, your prescriber can generally send the new prescription directly to Khang Pharmacy rather than transferring it.
4. Insurance & Coverage Medi-Cal, Medicare & Prescription Insurance
Can I transfer prescriptions if I have Medi-Cal?
Yes, many eligible prescriptions can be transferred for Medi-Cal Rx patients. Prescription coverage remains subject to Medi-Cal Rx eligibility and applicable coverage requirements.
Can I transfer prescriptions if I have Medicare?
Many Medicare prescription plan patients can transfer eligible prescriptions to Khang Pharmacy. Pharmacy network participation, medication coverage and patient costs vary by plan, so contact us if you would like us to review your insurance information.
Will my copay stay the same after transferring pharmacies?
Not necessarily. Copays and other patient costs can depend on the insurance plan, pharmacy network status, medication, deductible and other benefit rules. We should process the prescription under your current coverage before assuming the cost will be identical.
What if my insurance changed while I was transferring prescriptions?
Provide your current insurance information to Khang Pharmacy. A prescription that was previously covered may process differently under a new plan because pharmacy networks, formularies, copays and coverage requirements can differ.
5. Managing Your Medications After the Transfer Refills, MedPack, Delivery & Caregivers
Can Khang Pharmacy help coordinate my refills after I transfer?
Yes. Once your prescriptions are established with us, we can help with refill coordination and other ongoing pharmacy needs when appropriate.
I take many medications. Can Khang Pharmacy help organize them?
Patients managing multiple ongoing medications may benefit from Khang MedPack Care, which can include medication packaging and refill coordination depending on the selected service level and medication regimen.
Can transferred prescriptions be delivered?
Delivery may be available for eligible prescriptions and patients depending on location, medication, scheduling and other circumstances. Transfer and delivery eligibility are separate considerations.
Can a caregiver help transfer prescriptions for a family member?
A caregiver or family member may be able to assist with pharmacy coordination, but privacy requirements and the patient's circumstances can affect what information the pharmacy may discuss or disclose. Contact us if you are helping manage medications for someone else.
6. Getting Help From Khang Pharmacy Pharmacist Support & Vietnamese Assistance
Can Khang Pharmacy contact my prescriber if a new prescription is needed?
When appropriate, we can send a request or communicate with the prescriber's office regarding a prescription issue. The prescriber remains responsible for deciding whether to issue or authorize a prescription.
Is Vietnamese-language assistance available for prescription transfers?
Yes. Vietnamese-language support is available for patients and families who need help understanding the prescription transfer process and Khang Pharmacy services.
Nhà Thuốc Khang có hỗ trợ bằng tiếng Việt cho bệnh nhân và gia đình cần giúp chuyển toa thuốc và sử dụng các dịch vụ của nhà thuốc.
What should I do if I need my medication urgently?
Tell us about the timing concern when you contact the pharmacy. We can review the prescription situation, but transfer completion, medication availability, insurance processing and prescriber response times cannot be guaranteed.
For a medical emergency, seek appropriate emergency medical care rather than relying on a routine pharmacy transfer.
Have a Prescription Transfer Question?
Every prescription situation can be different. Call Khang Pharmacy and we can review the information available for your prescriptions.
