Which Walmart pharmacy you need
Walmart runs three kinds of pharmacy:
- Store pharmacies. Every Walmart store pharmacy has its own fax. Get it from the store, not from a directory site.
- Walmart Mail Order Pharmacy (also called Home Delivery), based in Carrollton, Texas, ships prescriptions to the patient's home.
- Walmart Specialty Pharmacy, based in Orlando, Florida, handles specialty medications for complex conditions.
Prior authorization is separate. It goes to the patient's insurer or pharmacy benefit manager, not to Walmart. See our prior authorization guide.

Notes:
- Mail order: the address is Walmart Mail Order Pharmacy, 1025 W Trinity Mills Rd., Carrollton, TX 75006, and the patient line is 1-800-2-REFILL (1-800-273-3455). Walmart's mail order page says prescribers may also e-prescribe or mail the prescription. It also notes some insurance plans limit coverage for mail order even when the drug is covered for store pickup.
- Specialty: the address is 2354 Commerce Park Drive, Orlando, FL 32827, phone 1-877-453-4566, email specialty@walmart.com. A 2018 Walmart specialty brochure lists the same fax.
- Controlled substances: Walmart's mail order page says it ships controlled substances by express second-day delivery with an adult signature required. Federal rules limit which controlled-substance prescriptions can be faxed; see our pharmacy fax guide.
Why patients can't fax their own prescriptions
A prescription is the prescriber's instruction to the pharmacist, so pharmacies accept faxed prescriptions only from the prescriber's office. A photo or scan sent by a patient won't be filled.
Instead, patients can:
- Ask the prescriber to e-prescribe to the store, mail order or specialty pharmacy.
- Ask the prescriber to fax it to the right Walmart line.
- Bring the paper prescription to the store.
- Transfer an existing prescription by asking Walmart to request it from the other pharmacy.
How a prescriber faxes Walmart, step by step
- Confirm the pharmacy: store, mail order or specialty.
- Consider e-prescribing, which avoids fax quality problems.
- Write a complete prescription: patient's full name, date of birth, address, the drug, strength, directions, quantity and refills, and the prescriber's details.
- Sign and date it.
- Fax it from the prescriber's office and keep the confirmation in the chart.
No fax machine in the practice? You can send a fax online for $2.99 with no subscription and no account. Check that your practice's rules allow sending prescriptions this way.
Why Walmart prescription faxes get rejected
- Sent by the patient rather than the prescriber.
- Wrong location. A specialty referral faxed to a store, or a store prescription sent to mail order.
- Missing patient details, so the pharmacy can't match the profile.
- Missing signature or prescriber details.
- Unreadable scan. Fax in black and white with clear, dark text.
