Specialty pharmacies fill prescriptions for complex, expensive medications. Services include comprehensive, medication-specific programs that are designed to help patients and prescribers navigate the complexities of insurance approvals, financial assistance and clinical support.

Albertsons Specialty Care uses our pharmacies across the nation to provide convenient options for you. You can choose to pick up a prescription at your local Albertsons Companies pharmacy and work with the pharmacy team you have already come to know and trust. We can also arrange to deliver the medicine to a location that is convenient for you, like your home or healthcare provider's office, through local courier or mail.

Our care coordinators will investigate your insurance benefits and inform you if you qualify for any financial help. We will connect you to resources such as manufacturer programs or foundations that may apply to your medication or condition.

We value your feedback and continually strive to improve. You can let us know how we are doing by calling us at 877-466-8028. Comments are documented and investigated, and a resolution is communicated to you within 14 calendar days. Complaints may also be reported to our Specialty Pharmacy accrediting body by calling ACHC at 855-937-2242.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1. You may speak to a pharmacist at any time by calling 877-466-8028. If you need help finding the phone number, address, or hours for your health care provider, you can call us and we will be happy to look that up for you. You can also find your prescriber’s address on your prescription label.
