What are the hours and when should I call?
Medco Pharmacy operates the call center for this 800-282-2881 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 99 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Medco Pharmacy call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Medco Pharmacy phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Medco Pharmacy staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Medco Pharmacy is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 91% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 99 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.
Calling this number wasn't effective at all, because there's no real way to get through the chokepoint on this number. When I dialed, I was asked if I was calling for online web support and told that all other calls should remain on the line.
I said that I wanted to get information, and I was told that we would need to pull up my account. I was asked to provide my account number, and I said that I didn't have one. The system didn't accept that and tried asking a different way. After asking three times and getting nowhere, the system told me that it would try to ask me another way.
It then asked me if I would enter my Social Security number. I was unwilling to do this and gave no reply. The system again tried to get me to do it, with me providing the initial response of refusing to do so. After the third attempt, the system told me that it could not assist me if it could not collect that information from me. When I still wouldn't provide it, the system exited the call.
Based on this, I would not use this number unless you're willing to give out personal information. The system's chokepoint appears ironclad, so unless you're a customer or physician, there's no real reason to use this number.
