Most prescriptions can be transferred. It does depending on several factors including state laws (some states like Ohio have some weird rules), type of medication (controlled substances are generally not transferable), and whether it makes financial sense to transfer (if you pay a flat copay for a 30 vs 90 day supply, and your current rx is a 30 day supply, it's a bad $$ idea to transfer). General pharmacy practice is for the pharmacy that will fill the prescription to request the transfer, though it can be done the either way.
As for cost savings, it really depends on what specific medications you are on, and how your insurance covers them. A call to your insurance company, or a review of your benefits at the insurance website, would be best to ensure you are going to save.
