How It Works

Switching pharmacies sounds like a hassle. We made it not one. Here's what actually happens when you call us.

  • Step 1: You call or text us — 212-317-0828. Tell us your name and current pharmacy. That's it.
  • Step 2: We call your old pharmacy — we request the transfer on your behalf. No hold music for you.
  • Step 3: We handle the paperwork — transfer authorization, insurance verification, everything.
  • Step 4: We confirm when it's ready — you'll hear from us, not wonder what happened.
  • Most transfers complete same-day — from CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, or any NYC pharmacy

Why Patients Switch

They're tired of waiting 45 minutes at CVS. They want a pharmacist who knows their name. They want someone who actually has time to answer a question. If any of those sound familiar — call us.

Why Patients Switch

From CVS, Walgreens & Duane Reade to Healarian.

We transfer from every major chain on the Upper East Side. Here is what patients tell us when they make the switch.

CVS

"45-minute wait. Automated phone tree. Prescription out of stock. No one who knows my name."

Transfer takes 2 minutes. We call them.
Walgreens

"Prescription not ready when promised. Different staff every time. Billing errors I had to fix myself."

We verify insurance as part of the transfer. No surprises.
Duane Reade

"Couldn't get a real answer about my medication. Felt like a number, not a patient."

Zimo spends 8 minutes per patient. Every visit.
Transfer FAQ
