  1. Ask your doctor to send a 90-day supply electronic prescription to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy. This is the fastest way to get started. You can expect to get your medication in 7 to 10 business days.
  2. Sign in to Caremark.com and select Start Rx Delivery by Mail and we will contact your doctor and get the process started for you. Once we reach your doctor and receive approval, it will take 7 to 10 business days for your medication to be delivered.

For short-term medications (like an antibiotic), use a retail pharmacy in your plan’s network. You can find one by using the pharmacy locator at Caremark.com.
