Can I get my child’s medication delivered through DrHouse’s delivery service?
Yes, you can have your child’s medication delivered through DrHouse, but only if delivery is available in your location and the prescribed medication is eligible for delivery.
Quick Answer:
- Delivery is only available in supported locations
- Only certain medications qualify for delivery
- If a medication qualifies for delivery, it may be available at no cost with delivery
- A prescription must be issued during the visit
- You can view eligible medications in the app before starting
How Prescription Delivery Works
If a physician prescribes medication for your child during a virtual visit, you may have the option to select same-day delivery instead of pharmacy pickup.
Delivery is handled through partner pharmacies, and in supported areas, medications may arrive in as little as one hour. The availability of this option depends on your location and pharmacy participation.
Medication Eligibility
Not all medications can be delivered.
- Only eligible medications may be available for delivery
- Many commonly prescribed generic medications are eligible
- Eligible medications may be available at no additional cost when delivery is selected
You can view the list of eligible medications directly in the DrHouse app before starting your visit, so you know what may qualify in advance.
What to Expect for Pediatric Prescriptions
- A parent or guardian must manage the visit and delivery
- The physician determines if medication is appropriate
- If prescribed and eligible, the medication may be available to be delivered at no cost
- ID verification is required at the time of delivery
Limitations and What to Know
- Delivery is location-dependent: Not available in all areas
- Medication eligibility varies: Not all prescriptions qualify
- Prescriptions are not guaranteed: Issued only if medically appropriate
- Timing may vary: Based on pharmacy hours and courier availability
If delivery is not available or the medication is not eligible, the prescription can still be sent to a local pharmacy for pickup.
