True or False: CDS prescription files will be kept for 2 years.

Understanding how long to keep CDS prescription files hinges on regulatory requirements and policy, not a fixed number. Retention periods for controlled-substance prescriptions are determined by federal/state laws and Curexa’s own retention policy, and they are not universally set at two years. In practice, these records are kept for the duration required by law and policy to ensure compliance, audit readiness, and the ability to address investigations. That’s why the statement claiming a blanket two-year retention isn’t accurate. Always refer to the current Curexa policy and applicable laws for the exact timeframe.
