  4. Yes, with specific rules for prescription transfers outlined

The correct answer is: Yes, with specific rules for prescription transfers outlined

It is possible for pharmacies under common ownership to share a patient/prescription database, but there are specific rules and regulations that must be followed. Option A is incorrect because while there are restrictions in place, it is not strictly prohibited. Option B is incorrect because controlled substances have additional restrictions and regulations for sharing databases. Option C is incorrect because there are still regulations in place, even if there are no restrictions on ownership. Option D is the correct answer because it acknowledges that there are rules in place for sharing prescription databases, particularly when it comes to transferring prescriptions.
