No. By law, you do not need to be a Costco member to purchase prescriptions at our pharmacy. However, only members can take advantage of the special pricing offered through the Costco Member Prescription Program (CMPP) and may receive better pricing on certain generic drugs.

The Costco Member Prescription Program (CMPP) is a voluntary program designed to provide additional savings on prescription drugs for Costco members and their eligible dependents. There is no extra charge and you don’t need to sign up. Your Costco membership is your prescription card.

You can check the price of your medication on costco.com or by simply calling your local Costco Pharmacy and asking to speak with a pharmacist.

Yes, simply provide the names of the medications and the contact information for your previous pharmacy. We will handle reaching out to your old pharmacy or physician for the transfer details.

To initiate a transfer, please have the following ready:

• The name and phone number of your previous pharmacy.
• The name and dosage of the medication(s) you wish to transfer.
• Your prescription insurance information (if applicable).
• Your Costco Membership number (if you are a member).

We accept most major prescription insurance plans, including many commercial, Medicare Part D, and state plans. Please present your insurance card to the pharmacy staff, and we will confirm your coverage details.

Most transfers are completed within 2-5 business days, depending how quickly other pharmacy responds. We’ll notify you when your prescription is ready.
