In a recent survey, 55% of Walmart customers said they wanted to have their prescriptions delivered alongside their groceries and other purchases.

The offering is available in Arkansas, Missouri, New York, Nevada, South Carolina and Wisconsin, and by February 2025, Walmart plans to expand the pharmacy delivery service to 49 states. (Walmart does not operate any pharmacies in North Dakota.) 

Same-day delivery will be offered across Walmart’s 4,600 pharmacies, the company said. Walmart also plans to introduce on-demand and express delivery options soon, allowing prescriptions to be delivered “within hours or, with express delivery, in as soon as 30 minutes.”

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.
