 Mail order refills

Using a mail order pharmacy, your orders are shipped to you free of charge.

Our members can get prescriptions filled for 90 days* through Costco.

Two ways to order through Costco:

  • Traditional mail order: Order all prescriptions by mail or phone. You must include the patient profile form and submit it to the Costco Mail Order Pharmacy. You can pay with personal check or electronic funds transfer.
  • Online ordering: Order all prescriptions online at Pharmacy.Costco.com. Each person in your household who receives their medication through online ordering must have their own account and unique email address.

To avoid order delays:

  • Provide Costco a valid shipping address
  • Include valid payment information
  • Have your provider send complete directions for use. Costco can't dispense orders without valid instructions and "use as directed" won't be accepted.
  • Have your prescription written for the maximum days supplied allowed by your plan (usually 90 days) and include additional refills.

Your order should arrive 14 days after Costco receives it at the processing facility. Allow a few extra days if you're placing your order for the first time. Standard shipping is free; expedited shipping is available for an extra cost.

For more details, see the Costco Mail Order Brochure.

*Mail order service is not available to all Dean Health Plan members. Refer to your Member Benefit Summary or call Member Services for more information.
