Frequently asked questions about pharmacies
What is an NPI number?
An NPI (National Provider Identifier) is a unique 10-digit number assigned by CMS to healthcare providers and organizations. Every pharmacy in this directory is registered in the public-domain NPPES registry with its own NPI.
What types of pharmacies are listed here?
The NPPES registry includes community pharmacies, chain pharmacies, long-term care pharmacies, specialty pharmacies, and mail-order and compounding pharmacies — any organization that has registered with CMS as a pharmacy.
Are all pharmacies in this directory licensed?
Registration in the NPI registry is a federal administrative requirement, while pharmacy licensing is handled by each state's board of pharmacy. You can verify a pharmacy's license with your state board.
How do I choose a pharmacy?
Consider location and hours, whether the pharmacy accepts your insurance, and whether it offers the services you need, such as delivery, compounding, or specialty medication support. Ask your prescriber if you have questions about a specific medication.

How to choose a pharmacy
Start with the basics: location, hours, and whether the pharmacy accepts your insurance. For routine prescriptions, a pharmacy close to home or work is often the most convenient choice.
If you take specialty or maintenance medications, ask whether the pharmacy offers specialty services, delivery, or refill synchronization. Some pharmacies also compound medications or offer immunizations.
Licensing is handled by state boards of pharmacy, so you can verify a pharmacy's license with your state board. This directory lists organizations registered in the federal NPI registry.
