If you don’t see your pharmacy populate, try to search by state and city only. (Remember that your pharmacy has to be a Sure scripts pharmacy, so you may not be able to find a local independent pharmacy.)

- Verify the name, address and phone number of the pharmacy. Click on the “next” button. If you have selected the wrong pharmacy, click on the remove button in blue, and start your search over.
