The new Amazon Pharmacy delivers prescription medications

Amazon today announced two new pharmacy offerings in the US through which customers can purchase their prescription medications. First, Amazon Pharmacy allows customers to complete an entire pharmacy transaction on their desktop or mobile device through the Amazon App. You can add insurance information, manage prescriptions, and choose payment options before checking out. As expected, Amazon Prime members receive unlimited, free two-day delivery on orders.

Also, Prime members can enjoy savings on medications when paying without insurance, as well as at over 50,000 other participating pharmacies nationwide.

The Amazon Prime prescription savings benefit saves members up to 80% off generic and 40% off brand name medications when paying without insurance.

Amazon Pharmacy highlights:

• Research Medications and Order Confidently: The same browsing experience customers are familiar with from Amazon makes it easy to discover what medications – including branded and generic versions, and different forms or dosages – are available through Amazon Pharmacy. Before checking out customers can compare their insurance co-pay, the price without insurance, or the available savings with the new Prime prescription savings benefit to choose their lowest price option.
• Seamless Transactions: Customers can add insurance information and ask their prescriber to send new or existing prescriptions directly to Amazon Pharmacy for fulfilment. Purchase is as simple as confirming the request on the Amazon App or website.
• Access Fully Digital, Personalized Quality Care: Customers have online self-service help options combined with phone access to customer care at any time. Friendly and knowledgeable pharmacists are available 24/7 to answer questions about medications.
