How Prescription Delivery Works with Nu Health Rx

For many Americans, getting a prescription filled is still a source of stress: long waits, insurance hurdles, and the uncertainty of when, if ever, your medication will arrive. Nu Health Rx, a nationwide virtual healthcare membership, is changing that experience by making prescription delivery seamless, transparent, and accessible to everyone, no insurance required. Here’s how the process works, from your virtual visit to medication at your doorstep or local pharmacy.


Step 1: The Virtual Visit

Your prescription journey with Nu Health Rx begins with a virtual consultation. Members can schedule primary care, urgent care, or mental health visits 24/7, connecting with a licensed provider through the Nu Health Rx platform2. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, addressing a sudden illness, or seeking mental health support, your provider will assess your needs and, if appropriate, prescribe medication.

What to expect:

  • Book a visit online, often with same-day or next-day availability.

  • Discuss your symptoms, history, and treatment options with a U.S.-licensed provider.

  • Receive a diagnosis and, if needed, a prescription all from home.


Step 2: Electronic Prescription Fulfillment

Once your provider issues a prescription, Nu Health Rx handles the logistics. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your chosen pharmacy or directly to Nu Health Rx’s partner mail-order service2.

Your options:

  • Local Pickup: Choose from over 70,000 pharmacies nationwide, including major chains and local stores.

  • Home Delivery: Opt to have your medications shipped directly to your door, with standard shipping included at no extra cost for covered medications2.


Step 3: Delivery or Pickup, Your Choice

Pharmacy Pickup:
If you prefer picking up your prescription, simply select your preferred pharmacy during your visit or in your member dashboard. Nu Health Rx will transmit your prescription electronically, and you’ll receive a notification when it’s ready. Just show your ID at the counter, no insurance card required.

Home Delivery:
For home delivery, Nu Health Rx coordinates fulfillment and shipping. Most standard shipments arrive within 7–10 days, though expedited options may be available for an added fee2. Medications are shipped in secure, tamper-proof packaging for privacy and safety.


Step 4: Ongoing Support and Refills

Nu Health Rx’s platform makes it easy to manage refills. Log in to your dashboard to request a refill, update your shipping address, or switch your pickup location. You’ll receive reminders when it’s time to reorder, and support is available if you have questions about your medication or delivery status2.
