Pharmacy

Mail order pharmacy services
Your patients don't have to leave their homes to get their medications. They can get their medications mailed to them. Or, if they prefer, they can get the medications mailed to their provider's office. They can start the mail-order process by completing a mail-order request form or signing up online.

By mail
They can call Mercy Care Member Services at 1-800-564-5465; (TTY/TDD 711) to request a mail-order form. Or, download a mail-order service form here: English | Spanish

Online
They can also register for mail order with CVS Caremark at www.caremark.com. Once they've registered, they can order refills, renew prescriptions and check their orders.

Prescription Drug Benefits Pharmacy Network Changes 
Effective February 3, 2020, Mercy Care Medicaid members will be transitioned to a network with CVS Caremark that continues to meet member access requirements but may offer fewer pharmacy providers. As of February 3, 2020, Walgreens Pharmacy will no longer be in Mercy Care’s Medicaid pharmacy network.

Mercy Care network pharmacies include:

  • Any CVS Pharmacy® (including those inside Target® stores), Walmart, Safeway, Fry’s, Albertson’s and Sam’s Club
  • Most local neighborhood pharmacies
  • Many hospital pharmacies

Our Medicaid pharmacy network directory is available on our website at mercycareaz.org. Click on “Find a Provider/Pharmacy”. Please be aware that Walgreens pharmacies will still show in the directory until February 2.

Members may also contact Mercy Care Member Services for assistance in locating a pharmacy near them.

What this means to you:

  • If you electronically transmit or call in prescriptions for members, please be sure the pharmacy is not a Walgreens pharmacy on or after February 3, 2020.

If you have questions or require more information, please contact your Provider Relations representative.

IMPORTANT: Read this notice regarding pharmacy network changes

Learn more about member drug benefits, view formularies and formulary updates. Help your patients get the prescription drugs they need in an easy and cost effective way. 

You now have the ability to use the new Formulary Search Tool to find out which medications are on the formulary drug lists. You can search by drug name or drug class. The search tool will show formulary status, generic alternatives and if there are any requirements, such as prior authorization, quantity limits or age limits. The formularies can change.

Some prescriptions require prior authorization from Mercy Care before they can be filled. Requests for medications requiring Prior Authorization (PA) will be reviewed based on the PA Guidelines/Criteria for that medication.

Medications that do not have a specific PA guideline will follow the Non-Formulary Medication Guideline. Additional information may be required on a case-by-case basis to allow for adequate review.
