CVS Health has announced that it is waiving fees for home delivery of prescription medications effective immediately. Of course, you’ll still have to pay for the cost of your prescription.

Your CVS Prescription Will Be Delivered for Free

The move comes in the wake of increasing concern over the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in the U.S.

“Being committed to the welfare of those we serve means being responsive to evolving needs and acting swiftly. This is particularly true in times of uncertainty,” said Troyen Brennan, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, CVS Health. “The latest steps we’re taking will help ensure patients of all ages have every option available to them when it comes to filling prescriptions.”

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has issued guidance that Americans with health risks should stay at home as much as possible for now.

How much money will you save? Delivery fees varied by location depending on whether you chose one- or two-day delivery, but same-day home delivery costs $7.99 per order.

How to Get CVS Prescription Home Delivery

To order CVS prescription home delivery, you can do any of the following:

  • Call your local CVS pharmacy
  • Order through the CVS app
  • Tap the link in an “Order ready” text message from CVS
