Sam’s Club has officially announced the launch of same-day delivery for refrigerated prescriptions, with free delivery for Plus Members.
According to certain reports, the stated service covers, at launch, a wide range of medications that require temperature-controlled handling, including GLP-1s, insulin, antibiotics, and other specialty prescriptions, thus ensuring safe, timely and convenient access to critical treatments.
More on the same would reveal how, through its pharmacy, Sam’s Club makes it possible for members to find better value on prescriptions. This treads up a long distance to how, taking a departure from other pharmacy options, Sam’s Club’s program is actually designed around member convenience, connecting trusted pharmacy care with the greater benefits of Plus membership.
Talk about what Sam’s Club will be able to offer moving forward, we begin from the promise of GLP-1 discounts. You see Sam’s Club now accepts manufacturer co-pay cards, including from Novo Nordisk. As a result, it enables eligible members to access Wegovy® and Ozempic® for $499 per month, doing so through the Novo Nordisk Copay Savings Program.
Next up, we have the newly-introduced Same-Day Delivery service, which is available for most prescriptions, including refrigerated medications such as GLP-1s. The service is also free for Plus Members when ordered by 2 p.m, with fees touted to be $12 for Club and non-members.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the prospect of cold chain delivery. The stated feature ensures refrigerated prescriptions are safely delivered same-day. Complementing that would be the focus on providing convenient pickup, spanning curbside pickup and express in-club pickup options at all Sam’s Club pharmacies.
Hold on, we still have a few bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon a facility committed to providing trusted care. An example of the company’s commitment to quality commitment is also made evident by the fact that it is already ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction, among Mass Merchandiser Pharmacies, for 10 consecutive years by J.D. Power.
We also haven’t touched upon the availability of personalized support, which includes counseling on medication management. In case that wasn’t enough, customers can also enjoy recommendations regarding wellness products and healthy food options currently available at Sam’s Club.
Rounding up highlights would be access to seasonal savings that allow, through November 8, members can avail $10 off their Sam’s Club basket with any flu vaccine.
Among other things, it ought to be acknowledged how members also have access to health and wellness benefits, including free hearing tests, OTC products, prescription hearing aids professionally fitted in-club by hearing aid specialists, as well as complimentary eyeglass adjustments at any Sam’s Club Optical Center.
Founded more than 40 years ago, Sam’s Club’s rise up the ranks stems from providing exclusive access to value, convenience, and modern omnichannel shopping options to millions of members in more than 600 clubs across. The company’s scale can be further contextualized once you consider it employs, at the moment, well over 3,500 pharmacists and pharmacy technicians across nearly 570 pharmacy locations nationwide,
“Our members count on Sam’s Club for both quality care and convenience, and our pharmacists are more than just healthcare providers. They’re partners in their communities, ensuring patients’ questions are answered with care and expertise, prescriptions are filled quickly and accurately, and every member leaves feeling valued and heard,” said Matt Holt, Vice President, Healthcare Operations at Sam’s Club. “Expanding same-day delivery to include refrigerated and specialty medications shows how we’re blending innovation with trusted pharmacy service to make healthcare more accessible.”
