Can i transfer my prescription from one cvs to another

Q: Can I get my CVS prescription transferred to another CVS?

No problem. Whether its across the country or just moving to another part of town, transferring your prescriptions from one CVS to another is simple. Just enter your current CVS location and then select your new CVS Pharmacy to pick up future refills.

Q: What happens if you dont pick up CVS prescription?

If you dont return to pick up your meds, the pharmacy will likely attempt to contact you to arrange for pick-up. However, if you fail to return or send someone else to get your prescription, the pharmacist will cancel the prescription and restock the medication.

Filling your Rx at a pharmacy in your network will help ensure you don’t overpay. You can pick your medication up, or use your pharmacy’s home delivery service if available (be sure to ask if there are fees).

Get your Rx from CVS Pharmacy?

If you’re already filling at CVS Pharmacy, we can help you set up automatic refills (if available under your plan) from your Caremark.com account.

Switch to 90-day supplies

If you take a medication for a condition like asthma or high blood pressure, you may be able to refill your Rx in 90-day supplies. It will probably cost less than filling monthly and you’ll only have to refill a few times a year1.

Refill reminders and automatic refills.

There are two simple ways to ensure you never run out of your medications.

You can receive refill reminders via text, email or automated call. Sign in, click on “Profile” and go to the “Communication Preferences” section. And remember, if you choose the text alerts, your refill reminders will allow you to place an order just by responding to the message.

Automatic refill/renewal program

We know it can be difficult to keep track of maintenance medications. So, have us refill your prescriptions automatically. If your plan offers it and your prescription is eligible, go to the “Manage Automatic Refills” page and select the prescription you’d like to enroll. Then let us do the rest.

Shipping and payment options.

Whether you want to temporarily change where we send your medications or need to update your credit card information, you have complete control of your account options.

Update shipping details

Need to update your home mailing address? Click on “Profile” then click on “My Shipping Information” to update your primary shipping address. Need to temporarily have us ship to another location? Just set up an alternative shipping address with start and end dates for shipping, and we’ll keep your medications coming to you when you’re away.

Refill FAQs

You can use our “Check Drug Cost & Coverage” tool. Fill in the requested information about the medicine and dosage and you'll receive a message telling you if your medicine is covered and what your co-pay amount will be. You'll also find out if there is a generic or a preferred medicine available that can help save you money.

If you have opted in to receive refill reminders by text, we'll contact you when your prescription is ready for refill. Simply respond "Yes" when we text you and we’ll begin processing your order. You can also use the refill form on the Caremark.com home page by entering your date of birth and “Mail Service Rx” number. If you choose to sign in to your account, you can review your entire list of prescriptions, select the ones that may be ready for refill and follow the prompts to submit your order. Or simply use the Caremark app to place your refill orders.

To order a different prescription for Rx Delivery by Mail, you'll need a new 90-day prescription. You can do this in one of two ways:

Ask your doctor to send a 90-day supply electronic prescription to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy. This is the fastest way to get started. You can expect to get your medication in 7 to 10 business days.
Sign in to Caremark.com and select Start Rx Delivery by Mail and we will contact your doctor and get the process started for you. Once we reach your doctor and receive approval, it will take 7 to 10 business days for your medication to be delivered. Remember, because CVS Caremark Mail Service fills prescriptions in 90-day supplies, it can be used for medications you take regularly (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol medications). For short-term medications (like an antibiotic), use a retail pharmacy in your plan’s network. You can find one by using the pharmacy locator at Caremark.com.
