How to transfer prescriptions
On its website, Rite Aid says it is "making every effort to ensure customers of impacted stores have access to health services, whether at another Rite Aid or a nearby pharmacy, and will work to transfer prescriptions accordingly so that there is no disruption of services."
Many pharmacies offer step-by-step guidance on their websites on how to add or transfer prescriptions. These include large companies such as, for example, CVS , Kroger, Walgreens and Walmart , as well as smaller and independent pharmacies.
