New Patient Pharmacy Checklist: What Information to Have Ready

Starting with a new pharmacy is easier when the pharmacy has accurate information from the beginning. A few basic details can help the team identify you correctly and coordinate your prescriptions.

Basic contact information

Be ready to provide your name, date of birth, current phone number, and other contact information requested by the pharmacy.

Current prescription information

If you are transferring an eligible prescription, the pharmacy may ask for the name of your current pharmacy and information that helps identify the prescription.

Prescriber information

The pharmacy may need the name of the prescriber or practice associated with a prescription, especially if clarification or a new prescription is required.

Medication list

Keeping an accurate medication list can help you communicate clearly with both your pharmacy and healthcare professionals.

Questions about compounded prescriptions

If a compounded medication has been prescribed, the pharmacy may need additional prescription-specific details before it can determine whether the requested preparation is feasible and appropriate.
