To sign up for prescription text alerts:

1. Follow the link Your Account to go to your Account Home page.
2. Hover over the Settings tab and select Communication Preferences from the dropdown menu. You will be directed to the Manage Communication Preferences page.
3. In the box labeled Text Message Alerts, you'll see the question "Do you want to receive Pharmacy Prescription Ready Alerts?" Select Yes.

You'll save time by making fewer trips to the pharmacy. Plus, you'll potentially save on co-pays depending on your insurance.

Most maintenance medications are eligible - excluding controlled substance prescriptions. If you have questions about prescription eligibility, please contact your local pharmacy.

There is a possibility that paying for your prescription once every 90 days will help save on co-pays. The cost of your prescription refill depends on your insurance policy. You'll need to contact your local pharmacy for your co-pay amount once your eligible prescriptions are refilled.

Orders received today should be ready by noon tomorrow. You'll receive a text message when your order is ready. We'll contact you if there are any delays.

If you want to pick specific medications for 90 day refills, please contact your local pharmacist. Otherwise, if you have received a text message with the option to refill your prescriptions for 90 days, and you respond with the RX90 keyword, those prescriptions that are due for refill will be requested for a 90 day fill.

We may need to contact your doctor depending on the state you live in (State Regulations) and/or your insurance plan.

No, you don't have to use mail service. If you choose 90 day fills, you can pick up your prescriptions at your local pharmacy.
