Rite Aid patients now can refill their prescriptions 24/7 at the Rite
Aid Online Store at www.riteaid.com/refillnow
for pickup at any of the more than 4,800 Rite Aid pharmacies nationwide.
They also can access their pharmacy profile online with a free
MyPharmacy account, which can be set up in minutes at www.riteaid.com.
MyPharmacy enables patients to manage their prescription history. They
also can sign up online for Rite Aid’s free Automated Courtesy Refill
program, which automatically refills an eligible prescription before it
runs out. Rite Aid pharmacies call patients when prescriptions are ready
for pick-up and also contact the patient’s physician for prescription
renewals. Through MyPharmacy, patients can manage their online refill
reminders. Many patients also like the convenience of ordering multiple
prescription refills quickly online.
Rite Aid’s Online Store, which also can be accessed through www.riteaid.com,
offers more than 45,000 items including Rite Aid brand products and many
others typically seen in Rite Aid stores. Many items not carried in
stores, such as larger durable medical equipment items like wheelchairs,
also are available online.
The Rite Aid Online Store also offers free shipping on customers’ first
order of $25 or more of non-pharmacy items, as well as instant savings
coupons and special offers. Through August 31, 2009, online customers
can save up to 50 percent on everything from mascara to multivitamins.
Patients’ orders also are marked “FSA” on more than 4,000 healthcare
items, which are eligible for reimbursement as part of a flexible
spending account benefit plan. This makes it easy for patients to track
these items, as many plan administrators advise participants to save all
applicable receipts.
