PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

Have your local ShopRite Pharmacy handle all of your prescription needs, including services under our Specialty Pharmacy.

When you enroll in a ShopRite medical plan, you receive prescription drug coverage. Your copays are based on the type of drug and where you purchase your prescription. To lower your costs, request generics or use a ShopRite pharmacy or Spotswood mail order for maintenance medications (for conditions that usually require regular use, such as for high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, and diabetes).

ShopRite Pharmacy provides support for patients taking Specialty Medications for chronic and complex conditions. Let ShopRite Pharmacy help you along your treatment journey — from facilitating prior authorizations to helping you remember to take and refill your medications.

We deliver high-quality, accessible pharmacy services. Our experienced team can help you get and find ways to pay for the medication you need, so you can focus on you.

Our program offers:

  • Assistance with prior authorizations.
  • Guidance with co-pay reimbursement programs to help lower costs whenever possible.
  • Refill management.
  • The convenience of scheduling specialty medication pick up with non-specialty medications at a local ShopRite Pharmacy.

ShopRite Specialty Pharmacy has a Pharmacist available 24/7 for patients:

  • Medication therapy education by a licensed clinician.
  • Side effect management.
  • Self injection technique guidance.

Assistance with medication refills:

  • ShopRite Specialty Pharmacy will notify your prescriber via fax when their specialty medications have expired, have no refills available or have changed.
  • We will contact patients seven days before their next scheduled fill to verify and confirm their refill. We will reach out to new patients to explain the benefits of our program to help manage their complex medical condition. This program is voluntary, not all patients must enroll. For more details, contact your local ShopRite
    pharmacy.
