My pharmacy calls my physician for a direct e-script. It's usually done almost immediately, or within 24 hours. This is always done on controlled substances.

@CicadaSongs Not sure how to handle that since we are away from home and not used to dealing with this CVS. I will give it another day and then have him send a very directly worded message to the doctor

CVS is a nation wide pharmacy and has a network to all their stores. The pharmacy can see your subscription, MD, etc. 

@I am still oxox  was about to suggest the same thing. You should stand a better chance of getting it. Yes, any CVS could see your prescription.

Tomorrow is Friday so I would do it today.

   Some Physicians prefer the pharmacy contact them for the  med refills . Recontact your MD office along with contacting your Pharmacist

My hubbies doc is impossible he asks on Monday for a refile to be sent. Its now Thursday and still no refill. How long to you wait until you ask again. This communication is all done over my chart.  My docs respond within a day or less

Ask the pharmacist at the pharmacy you use to call the office.  Triage/nurse line.  They usually respond quicker to that.

@I am still oxox 

Since this prescription is for a controlled substance and your husband is asking for it to be sent to a pharmacy that is not your regular pharmacy, perhaps that could be causing some  confusion and the holdup. 

CALL your doctor's office TODAY and talk to a real person and explain to them what the situation is.  Keep calling until you reach someone.  

Occasionally, when my pharmacy needs to contact my doctor's office to get authorization for refills and if they don't hear back within 48 hours, the pharmacy lets me know.  So then I contact my doctor's office to rattle their cage because I think a doctor's office should be able to respond within 48 hours to a pharmacy.   And then, of course, it takes the pharmacy time to prepare the medication.

So, I would have given your doctor's office 48 hours to contact the pharmacy or to contact your husband if they have questions about this refill.

 Good luck.

I sent a request for a refill to Mychart at 7:15 this morning to go with the two other prescription refills I placed myself on the pharmacy's voice mail. 

At 10:58 this morning pharmacy texted they had all 3 of my med's ready for me to pickup.  Stopping by this afternoon on my way home.

Just a few hours is about normal for my Dr. to respond to my needs.

Seems perhaps a call to the office and talking to a nurse may be required. To refill a controlled substance they may require a follow up visit.

@Etoile308 we are out of town and get gets the script often, he just saw the doc 5 weeks ago for a full physical.

Thank you for all the responses we call the office and the script should be there by the end of the day, we can only hope
