Pharmacy Help

Once your online pharmacy account is active, you will be able to manage prescriptions, refill prescriptions, transfer prescriptions, change store location and have prescriptions delivered to you as well as view and/or print your prescription history from the last 18 months.

To create a Walgreens pharmacy account:

1. Select the Register link under the Walgreens logo at the top of any page. You will be taken to the Create your Walgreens.com account page.
2. Fill in the required information on the next page and click Continue.
3. Under Manage your prescriptions click Join now.
4. Fill in the required information on the next page and click Submit.
5. Your account is now created, but you will need to verify your identity.
6. Follow the prompts to verify your identity online, by phone, or with prescription number.
7. For online verification, you will be asked a few simple questions about yourself which are generated using personal identifying information, such as your date of birth, in a process similar to those used by banks and credit institutions.
8. Phone verification uses your phone number plus the 8 digit authentication code provided on the screen.
9. For prescription verification, simply provide a prescription you filled at Walgreens in the last 12 months, if available.
10. Once verified, your pharmacy records may not be visible in your account immediately. If you are not able to see your records after 24 hours, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-250-5823.

An activation code is a unique 8-digit computer-generated number for use in pharmacy account phone verification. It adds another layer of security to ensure that your prescription information is released to you, alone. If your activation code doesn't work, you will be automatically connected to a Customer Service agent. If you are not automatically connected, please call Customer Service toll-free, at 1-877-250-5823.

During pharmacy registration, you will be directed to the Complete Your Verification page. You will see the Verify by Phone area which features a computer-generated activation code. Next, call 1-800-573-3586 and you will be prompted to enter your activation code on your phone keypad. This will establish your account and ensure that you, alone, have access to your personal information. If our automated phone system is unable to verify your account, you will be transferred to a Customer Service agent for verification assistance. If you are not automatically connected, please call Customer Service toll-free, at 1-877-250-5823.

The phone number that you call from to establish your pharmacy account must match the primary phone saved on your account, which in most cases is your home phone. This adds another layer of security to ensure that your prescription information is released to you, alone. If your activation code doesn't work, you will automatically be connected to a Customer Service agent. If you are not automatically connected, please call Customer Service toll-free, at 1-877-250-5823.

One possible reason is that you have recently reset your password. If you reset your password and answer your security questions on file correctly, your authentication information and saved credit cards will remain activated. If you are unable to answer your security questions correctly, resetting your password will remove authentication information as well as the saved credit cards on your account. Previously saved credit cards will need to be re-entered.

Your personal identifying information, such as your date of birth, is only used to confirm your identity and to make sure that the person requesting access is really you. This process helps to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not have access to your pharmacy records online.

The information for the online verification process is obtained from the same institutions that banks, credit card companies and other organizations use for identity confirmation. The verification questions ensure that your information is released to you, alone. The information is used for verification purposes only and will not be saved or stored for reference on your account.

If you see this message, it means that a Walgreens.com representative is working on matching the information you submitted online with your pharmacy account. You will receive an email once this process is complete. If you do not receive an email within 3 hours of your request, call Customer Service toll-free, at 1-877-250-5823.

Yes, you can still order a prescription refill using Express Refills if you need to complete your verification later. Just make sure you have the prescription number you wish to refill before using Express Refills.

Our system will provide a link to phone verification first, where you can try to verify again. If you have reached the maximum number of attempts, you will be prompted to verify by another verification option.

These are terms used to describe the process of determining that the person requesting access is really you. It is our intent to conduct our business operations in a matter that protects our customers' confidential information and permits them to feel secure that we will do so.

No. The information that you provide will be used for authentication purposes only. It will be used to verify your identity and will not be given nor sold to any other company.
