How long does it take for prescriptions to be filled?

At CVS Health, we strive to provide prompt and efficient prescription services. The time it takes to fill a prescription can vary based on several factors. In most cases, our pharmacists aim to fill prescriptions within 15-30 minutes. However, certain factors such as medication availability, insurance authorization, and prescription complexity may influence the time needed. For new prescriptions, it might take longer as our pharmacists need to verify the details and consult with healthcare providers if necessary. To lessen wait times, we encourage our customers to utilize our online prescription management tools, allowing for advanced prescription refills and easy pickup. Additionally, our drive-thru and curbside pickup options enable quick and convenient access to medications. Our dedicated team is committed to ensuring timely and accurate prescription services while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.
