Medications and Wellness Essentials Delivered to Your Front Door

(NAPSI)—Whether you’re tied up at work, busy with school or just not feeling well, home delivery is a convenient and affordable way to get the products and medications you need. Good news: while home delivery from one major pharmacy isn’t new, the service has been enhanced and is faster than ever. 

CVS Pharmacy launched 1- to 2-day delivery on eligible prescriptions nationwide back in 2018. Since then, the company has added more delivery options, such as on-demand delivery (or delivery in as little as three hours) and has expanded the products eligible for delivery. 

It’s a core component of the company’s digital offerings and its effort to meet consumers’ unique health and wellness needs. Delivery is available through more than 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations across the U.S. and 97% of Americans can access those services. 

“Our wide array of delivery offerings allows us to get household products, health and beauty aids, and OTC and prescription medications to our customers and patients faster than ever before,” said Prem Shah, Executive Vice President, Chief Pharmacy Officer, and President of Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. “We’ve led the way in prescription delivery and will continue to innovate to ensure we meet the demands of those who shop and fill prescriptions with us.” 

How does prescription delivery work?

Getting products and prescriptions delivered to your door is quick and easy. The first step is to download the CVS Pharmacy app or sign up for text alerts. Patients then order their prescriptions or request refills as normal. When prescription orders are ready, the patient can review their order status and schedule one of several delivery options, if their prescriptions are eligible for delivery, on their CVS Pharmacy app or by clicking on a text message link.

CVS Pharmacy offers free on-demand and 1- to 2-day delivery of all eligible prescriptions through its ExtraCare+ membership program. For those who are not ExtraCare+ members, the fee for on-demand delivery in as little as three hours is $9.49 and 1- to 2-day delivery is $5.49. All options can be managed through the CVS Pharmacy app, SMS text messaging, CVS.com or by speaking with the local CVS Pharmacy team.

If a state allows, CVS Pharmacy offers prescription delivery on most types of medications. Some insurers do not allow prescription delivery and other exclusions may apply. You can learn more about CVS Pharmacy’s delivery options at www.cvs.com/delivery.
