Publix Pharmacy begins home delivery of prescriptions

May 12, 2020

Publix Pharmacy and ScriptDrop are collaborating to offer home delivery of prescriptions within a 5-mile radius of each in-store Publix Pharmacy for a $5 fee. There are no limits on the number of prescriptions ordered; however, age-restricted products, controlled substances and prescriptions needing refrigeration are excluded. Prescription home delivery is not available for individuals with Medicare Part B and Medicaid insurance.

“As a health care provider, Publix Pharmacy has adopted business practices that support the social distancing guidance provided by the CDC,” said Vice President of Pharmacy Dain Rusk. “We believe this service provides a convenient option for customers who are age 65 and over, have compromised immune systems or require medications but are limiting trips outside their homes.”  

If you are signed up to receive a text message when prescriptions are ready, you will receive a link to prepay for your prescriptions and choose delivery. Prescriptions are delivered weekdays after 2 p.m. To receive same-day delivery, your order must be placed before 11 a.m. Orders placed after 11 a.m. will be delivered the following weekday. If you want to transfer prescriptions to take advantage of this service, call your nearest Publix Pharmacy. Prescription transfers cannot be initiated through ScriptDrop.

Although we’re introducing the service during the coronavirus pandemic, Publix Pharmacy plans to continue prescription delivery beyond the crisis.
