What additional information must be provided when receiving an electronic transfer of a prescription?

When receiving an electronic transfer of a prescription, it's essential to include the date of original dispensing. This information is crucial because it helps maintain an accurate record of the prescription's history and allows for proper management of refills and expiration dates. The date provides context for the prescription's validity, ensuring that the receiving pharmacist can verify that it is still within an acceptable timeframe for dispensing.

While other details, such as the pharmacist’s name, the patient's contact details, and insurance information, may be relevant in certain contexts, they are not specifically required to be included with the electronic transfer of a prescription in the same way that the date of original dispensing is. This highlights the importance of tracking the life cycle of a prescription to prevent potential errors and ensure that patients receive their medications safely and effectively.
