How long does it take for my prescription to be delivered?

Asked 2 years ago
The delivery time for prescriptions through Caremark can vary depending on several factors, including the type of medication, the specific pharmacy that is processing the order, and the shipping method selected. Generally, standard delivery for prescriptions may take between three to five business days, but some medications may require longer processing times, particularly if they are specialty medications or require prior authorization. It is also important to note that the timing can be affected by weekends or holidays, as many pharmacies do not process orders during these times. For the most accurate information regarding a specific prescription's delivery time, it is advisable to check the current status on the Caremark website or review any notifications or communication from them. This will provide you with the most relevant updates on your prescription order.
