Mail refill overview

Use Clinic Pharmacy Mail Service when delivery fits the prescription

Mail delivery can remove an unnecessary pharmacy visit, but the prescription must already be active and eligible for this route. Check the medication name, prescription number, remaining refills, mailing address, and timing before requesting a shipment.

01

Prescription status

Confirm that the pharmacy holds the current prescription and that authorized refills remain.

02

Delivery address

Use the current secure mailing address and update it before ordering if it has changed.

03

Refill timing

Request the refill early enough to allow for pharmacy processing and transit.

Mail service sequence

Prepare, register, request, and confirm

Confirm eligibility

Verify that mail delivery is available for the medication and destination.

Register when required

Complete the mail-service registration process before a first delivery order.

Submit the refill request

Enter the prescription information exactly as it appears on the pharmacy record.

Review the confirmation

Check the medication, quantity, destination, and processing information before closing the request.

Before delivery

Prevent common mail-order delays

Address changes, expired prescriptions, exhausted refills, and incomplete registration can interrupt processing. Make the request from the current pharmacy record rather than from memory or an old container.

If the prescriber changed the medication, strength, or directions, ask which prescription is active before ordering.

Mail delivery is a fulfillment method.
It does not renew an expired prescription, authorize a substitution, or change the prescribed directions.
Mail service questions
