To fill a prescription at CVS, present your valid prescription and insurance card. CVS accepts most major insurance plans; however, always confirm coverage beforehand. If you lack insurance, inquire about available assistance programs or explore potential cost-saving options like CVS’s prescription savings programs. For controlled substances, additional identification may be required.
Refills and Transfers
For refills, contact your doctor or CVS directly. Many prescriptions allow automatic refills; however, verify this with your pharmacist. Transferring prescriptions from another pharmacy is usually straightforward. Provide the originating pharmacy’s name and contact information to CVS to facilitate the transfer. Be aware that some medications may have restrictions on transfers.
Medication Disposal
CVS offers a convenient medication disposal program for unused or expired prescriptions. Locate a drop-off kiosk within participating stores. Observe proper disposal guidelines, as printed on the kiosk or available from a pharmacy technician. This service helps prevent accidental ingestion and protects the environment.
