The most common reason your CVS app may not be showing your prescriptions is related to your CVS.com® account and its associated Prescription Management feature.
Primary Reasons for Missing Prescriptions
If you're experiencing issues with your prescriptions not appearing in the CVS app, it typically stems from one of these core issues:
- No CVS.com Account: You might not have a CVS.com account linked to your pharmacy records.
- Missing Prescription Management: Even if you have an account, the essential "Prescription Management" feature may not be activated or linked to your profile. This is crucial for full online access to your prescription history and details.
- Not Signed In: You may simply not be signed into your CVS.com account within the app, or you are signed into a different account than the one linked to your prescriptions.
Solutions and Steps to Resolve the Issue
To ensure your prescriptions are visible and accessible in the CVS app, follow these steps:
-
Verify Your CVS.com® Account:
- Open the CVS app or visit the CVS.com website.
- Attempt to Sign In using the email address and password associated with your CVS pharmacy prescriptions.
- If you don't have an account or are unsure, you will need to Sign Up for a new CVS.com account. During the sign-up process, ensure you link your pharmacy records, often by providing your prescription number, pharmacy card details, or date of birth.
-
Add Prescription Management to Your Account:
- Once signed in to your CVS.com account, navigate to the "Pharmacy" or "Prescriptions" section.
- Look for an option to "Add Prescription Management" or "Link Your Pharmacy Prescriptions." You might be prompted to verify your identity by entering information from a recent prescription, such as the prescription number and pharmacy phone number.
- Important: This step is vital to connect your online account with the prescriptions you fill at a CVS/pharmacy location.
-
Ensure You Are Signed In:
- After verifying your account and Prescription Management settings, ensure you are actively signed into the CVS app with the correct credentials.
- Sign out and then sign back in to refresh the app's data.

Here's a quick guide to common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|

Additional Tips for Seamless Access
- App Updates: Ensure your CVS app is updated to the latest version. Outdated apps can sometimes have display or connectivity issues.
- Internet Connection: A stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular data) is necessary for the app to fetch your prescription data.
- Check Different Devices: If possible, try logging into your CVS.com account on a desktop computer or another mobile device to see if the issue persists across platforms. This can help determine if the problem is with the app itself or your account.
- Contact CVS Support: If you've followed all these steps and still cannot see your prescriptions, it's best to contact CVS Pharmacy Customer Service directly for assistance with your account.
