Need a pharmacy fax number near you? Every major chain — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart — has a unique fax number per location. Here are three ways to find it fast, plus how to send a fax to any pharmacy from your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my local pharmacy's fax number?
The fastest method is to call the pharmacy directly and ask for their fax number — staff provide it in seconds. You can also use the NPPES NPI Registry at npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov to search by pharmacy name and location, or check the pharmacy's website store-locator page, which often lists the fax number under contact details.
Do CVS and Walgreens pharmacies have fax numbers?
Yes. Every CVS and Walgreens pharmacy location has its own dedicated fax line used for receiving prescription refill requests and prior authorization forms from providers. The number is location-specific — there is no single national fax number for these chains.
Can I fax a prescription to a pharmacy myself?
In most states, only a licensed prescriber (doctor, NP, PA) can legally fax a new prescription to a pharmacy. Patients can, however, initiate a prescription transfer by calling the new pharmacy and providing the original pharmacy's fax number — the new pharmacy handles the rest.
What is the fax number for CVS Specialty Pharmacy?
CVS Specialty Pharmacy's national prescriber fax number is 1-800-323-2445. This handles specialty medication prescriptions. Standard retail CVS locations each have a unique local fax number — find it by calling your store or searching the NPI registry.
