Why Mail Order?

Mail order is a more convenient, more cost-effective way to get maintenance prescription drugs. You can get a three-month prescription for the cost of two copays, and you have the added convenience of home delivery. 

Mail order is typically used for maintenance medications that help treat chronic, long-term health conditions including:

  • High Blood Pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Cholesterol
  • Thyroid
  • Menopause

Getting Started

If this is a new medication, or if you are a new health plan member, have your prescription filled at a retail pharmacy before using mail order.  (Note:  you will still need to do this step even if you have used mail order before with another insurance carrier).  This will:

  • Ensure that you can safely tolerate the medication.
  • Determine the appropriate copay tier and pre-authorizations.
  • After you have safely tolerated the medication and have determined what your monthly copay will be by having the prescription filled at a retail pharmacy, you can move to mail order. 

First Time Users

Here are the steps to take:

  • For your first order, complete and send in the Caremark Mail Service Form.  
  • For faster service, you can call Caremark Customer Care at  1-888-766-5495.  
  • After Caremark receives the order, you should receive your medication within 14 days.  Prior to future refill requests, we recommend that you keep a two-week supply on hand to allow for unforeseen delays in shipping.  
  • If you need to confirm the status for you mail order prescription, contact Caremark at 1-888-766-5495.
