Rx Delivery by Mail questions

To start filling by mail, you’ll need a new 90 day prescription. You can either:

  • Ask your doctor to send an electronic prescription to CVS Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy. This is the easiest way to get started – you can expect to get your medication in 7 to 10 business days.

            OR

Remember, because CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy 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.

The best way is to call your doctor and ask to have a new 90 day prescription sent to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy electronically. If you’re having trouble reaching your doctor, sign into your Caremark.com account and select Start Rx Delivery by Mail.

Once we receive your order, you can expect to get your medication in 7 to 10 business days.

To set up automatic refills and renewals, sign in to your Caremark.com account and select Manage Automatic Refills under the Prescriptions menu. You’ll need to choose which medications you’d like automatically refilled, set up a payment method and choose how you’d like to receive messages about your refills (text, automated phone call or email).

Once you start automatic refills for a medication you take regularly, we will automatically mail your medication before your refill due date. If your prescription is out of refills, we’ll contact your doctor to have it renewed.

We’ll notify you when we’re about to start processing your order. If you have to change or cancel your order, you’ll need to do it within 10 days of receiving this notification.

Please note that some prescriptions can’t be automatically refilled. These include prescriptions for controlled substances and specialty medications, and prescriptions covered by certain government payers, including Medicare Part B.

Refill questions

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 could help you save 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.
