Mail Service Pharmacy FAQs

 

The length of time to get your first prescription filled will depend on how long it takes to receive your prescriptions from your doctor. For fastest service, ask your doctor to e-prescribe to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy (NPI: 1881952851).

 

Once the mail order pharmacy receives your prescription, it usually takes up to 10 days for you to receive your medicines.

You can find all of the information you need on the label on your current medicine container. You’ll need to provide:

 

  • The name of the medicine(s) you would like to order
  • The dosage
  • The name of your prescribing doctor

The mail service pharmacy will handle the rest. Alternatively, ask your doctor to electronically prescribe your medicines to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy, NPI 1881952851.
 

If your doctor e-prescribes, your prescription is electronically sent to the pharmacy immediately. If you mail in an enrollment form or call, a pharmacy employee will contact your prescribing doctor(s). This will be to request a new prescription for 90-day supplies of your medicine(s). You’ll receive notice from the mail service pharmacy if your doctor’s office does not respond within a few days.

We suggest that you contact your doctor to request the new prescription directly. Usually an electronic prescription is fast and easy for the doctor’s office. The mail service pharmacy cannot send your medicines without a prescription.

Some medicines are not eligible for delivery by mail.

 

  • Your formulary, the list of drugs covered by your plan, marks medicines eligible to be delivered by mail order.
  • The Start Mail Service feature on Caremark.com will not allow you to order prescriptions that are not eligible for mail service.
  • Also, Member Services can review your medicines with you. They can advise which are eligible for delivery by mail.

The mail service pharmacy is required to get your approval before mailing any medicine you didn’t order yourself. This includes prescriptions submitted by your doctor. If your authorization is required, you will receive a call, text message or email. How we contact you depends on your saved communication preference. You can also provide your consent to ship your medicines using the CVS Caremark mobile app.

It’s easy to opt out of mail service. Simply call Member Services or the number on your mail service packing slip. Before you do, check with alternative providers for your medicines, such as your local network retail pharmacy. This can ensure that there will not be a gap in your treatment.
