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.
1. Controlled substances and cold packs are not applicable for 90-day mail service.

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.
