Mail Order Prescriptions with Health First Colorado

Health First Colorado members have the option of getting their prescription medications through the mail instead of going to the pharmacy.

Delivery Fees

• Health First Colorado does not pay for or reimburse pharmacies or members for delivery fees.
• Pharmacies may offer mail delivery, but it is up to each pharmacy whether they provide this service.
• If you choose mail delivery for your prescription medication, you are responsible for paying the delivery fee, if applicable.

How to get your prescription by mail

1. Check with Your pharmacy: Ask your current pharmacy if they provide mail delivery for your prescriptions.

2. If your current pharmacy does not offer mail delivery, and you want to stay local:

• • Search for nearby pharmacies using the Find a Doctor tool.
  • Enter your address in the “Find Providers Near Me” field, or click the “Find Me” button to see your location.
  • Adjust the “Within” tool to set how far you are willing to travel.
  • Select “Pharmacy” from the “Find Providers by Type” dropdown list.
  • Call nearby pharmacies to ask about their delivery options.

3. If no local pharmacies offer mail delivery:

• Search for mail order pharmacies using the Find a Doctor tool.
• Select “Pharmacy” from the dropdown list.
• Zoom out using the “-” button on the map to find other areas or out-of-state pharmacies that might offer mail order services.
• If you choose mail order services, you can get new or refill prescriptions for chronic conditions in a supply of up to 100 days. These are called maintenance medications, which are taken regularly to manage a wide range of ongoing or long-term conditions and illnesses.

Important

Health First Colorado does not keep an official list of pharmacies that offer mail delivery. We recommend that you call pharmacies directly and ask if they can meet your specific medication needs.
