How quickly can I get a prescription filled?
Our retail locations often have prescriptions filled before you even leave your doctor’s appointment. And all prescriptions that are scheduled for pickup will be ready the same day.
With mail-order pharmacy — for those who are eligible — prescriptions will be ready between 4 and 10 days. Need your medication sooner? Talk with your doctor about picking up your first fill at a Geisinger Pharmacy and having future ones sent through mail-order.
Whether you’re picking up locally or requesting a mail-order pharmacy refill, you can manage all your Geisinger Pharmacy prescriptions right in the Geisinger Pharmacy portal and app. Check out our pharmacy portal FAQs.
