mail order pharmacy

Shipped prescription service

A mail order pharmacy is a pharmacy that dispenses medications by shipping them directly to patients rather than requiring in-person pickup.

Insurance plans often encourage their use for maintenance medications—drugs taken regularly for chronic conditions—because bulk dispensing reduces costs: My insurance requires me to use a mail order pharmacy for prescriptions I take every month.
