Get tested and treated at Rx Express
Rx Express celebrated 20 years of business this past June. The team was all smiles when they commemorated their second decade at the 20th anniversary party. They even served customized Rx Express cookies that resembled lab coats, chill pills and prescription bottles.
Owner Paul, Nick and their staff are dedicated to helping you live a healthier life.
“We like to take the approach of a more traditional community pharmacy,” Paul said. “We view it as serving the community. At Rx Express, you are treated as more than just a patient or customer.”
Rx Express is still providing COVID-19 vaccines, offering the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines. Walk-ins are welcome from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine. No appointments are needed.
The vaccine is covered by insurance and programs are available to get the vaccine free of charge for the uninsured.
The state of Florida has introduced a new program called Test and Treat, which allows pharmacists to test patients for the flu, strep throat and urinary tract infection (UTI) at their pharmacy.
“If they test positive and it’s appropriate, I can provide them treatment,” Nick said. “If it’s negative, I can give recommendations on what to do next.”
Test and Treat makes Rx Express a one-stop shop. People who are sick with strep throat, the flu or a UTI need to be taken care of, and COVID-19 shouldn’t impede that, Nick said, who can prescribe anti-biotics or anti-viral medication directly after he shares the test results.
And for those worried about going in public due to health concerns, Nick will come to your car window in the parking lot to test you.
Testing is self-pay, but all tests are $65 or less.
Being independently owned has not stopped Rx Express from offering a wide range of options.
“With an independent pharmacy, everybody thinks you don’t have it, you can’t get it, you don’t accept their insurance, the cost is higher and that’s typically just not true,” Nick said. “We take almost all the insurances. We accept Florida Blue and most of the Medicare plans. And our cost is usually comparable or cheaper than a lot of the bigger chain stores.”
Located at 8986 Ortega Park Drive in Navarre, Rx Express Pharmacy also provides Medication Therapy Management services. Pharmacists do an in-depth review with you about your medications and conditions. The pharmacists at Rx Express Pharmacy are highly trained and can answer all your medication questions and provide you with the best medication recommendations.
Transferring your medications to Rx Express Pharmacy is an easy process. Just provide the staff with your basic information, including a photo ID and your insurance card, and the pharmacy will do the rest. Once your medications are at Rx Express Pharmacy, you can download the RefillRX app to see your current medications and request a refill all on your smartphone.\
And for people who would like to avoid coming into stores, Rx Express offers a drive-thru window, which has been very helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nick said.
Rx Express’s efficient staff, which typically includes six or seven employees on the floor at a time, provides efficient and accurate prescription filling to every customer.
“We have a lot more employees here than a lot of other stores, so we pride ourselves on a 15-minute or less wait time for most every prescription,” Nick said. “No point in going to the provider’s office and waiting and then having to go to the pharmacy and wait two or three hours.”
