What Is a Mail-Order Pharmacy?

A mail-order pharmacy allows patients to receive prescription medications delivered directly to their home instead of picking them up at a local pharmacy. These services are often used for chronic conditions requiring ongoing medication and can be more convenient and cost-effective than traditional pharmacies.

Why use a mail-order pharmacy?

• Convenience: Medications are delivered to your door, reducing trips to the pharmacy.
• Cost savings: Some insurance plans offer lower copays for mail-order prescriptions.
• Automatic refills: Helps ensure you don’t run out of essential medications.

How does mail-order pharmacy work?

• Your doctor sends the prescription to a licensed mail-order pharmacy.
• The pharmacy fills and ships your medication, often in 90-day supplies.
• Refills can be automated to avoid lapses in medication adherence.
