4. View and select prescriptions for delivery: All CVS prescriptions that are ready and eligible for delivery should now be displayed in the DoorDash app. You can select which prescriptions you’d like to add to your cart. 

  • If you have prescriptions ready and eligible for delivery at more than one CVS Pharmacy location that you wish to order, you will need to build two carts, one for each CVS Pharmacy location. 

  • Not all prescriptions are eligible for delivery. If you are not seeing one of your ready prescriptions here, reach out to your pharmacy to learn more.

Select “Add Items” from the Cart page to view the full store page or use the search bar to search for specific items. As an added benefit, DashPass members may be eligible to receive reduced delivery fees when ordering your prescription and non-prescription items together from DoorDash.

6. Acknowledge delivery instructions and place your order: Prior to checkout, you will be presented with instructions informing you that you must meet the Dasher in person and provide a delivery PIN in order to receive your prescription. On the checkout page, the “Hand it to me” delivery option will be pre-selected. The “Leave at door” delivery option will be disabled because you are required to meet your Dasher in person to receive your prescription and verify with your delivery PIN that you are authorized to receive it.
