How do I e-prescribe for mail service or home delivery prescriptions?

Our new name will begin to show up in electronic medical record (EMR/EHR) systems in April.

My patient is insured for their specialty pharmacy benefit under the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program. Where should I send their prescriptions?

To make a referral for members of the Federal Employee Program, contact us by phone: 888-346-3731, fax: 866-819-8346 or e-prescribe: AllianceRx Walgreens Prime-SPEC-FL.

Why is a different AllianceRx Walgreens Prime pharmacy location contacting me other than the one I sent the prescription to?

Your patient may have a health plan that requires us to only use one of our locations to fill for their members. Or, a pharmaceutical manufacturer may have a limited distribution network that requires us to fill certain medications from certain locations. If you’re unsure where to send a specialty prescription, contact us at 855-244-2555; if this is a home delivery prescription, contact us at 888-211-9028.

How do I fax you a prescription?

You can download and fax the patient referral form.

Download Patient Referral Form.

Can I still refer patients to Walgreens local specialty pharmacies for specialty prescriptions?

Absolutely. You can still refer patients to a Walgreens local specialty pharmacy. Note: access may differ by payer.

Also, depending on your state’s Board of Pharmacy requirements and patient’s health plan, a patient may choose to pick up their specialty medication at any Walgreens local specialty pharmacy, neighborhood Walgreens, or Duane Reade. This added convenience is an additional benefit of AllianceRx Walgreens Prime to patients who used to fill through Prime Specialty Pharmacy.
