Walmart has expanded same-day pharmacy services to include refrigerated and reconstituted medications.
The expansion includes refrigerated access for medications such as insulin, GLP-1s and pediatric amoxicillin, according to a Sept. 22 news release from the company. Refrigerated medications make up over 30% of Walmart pharmacy sales and the company is the first retailer to deliver refrigerated prescriptions alongside everyday orders.
Once a prescription is filled, customers are notified through their Walmart pharmacy account and from there, can choose same-day scheduled delivery, on-demand delivery and express delivery with insurance applied.
Walmart launched its pharmacy delivery in October 2024 and since then has filled more than 4 million pharmacy delivery orders, the release said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
