ScriptDrop, Kroger broaden same-day prescription delivery to Dallas, Houston

ScriptDrop, a prescription delivery platform, is launching its same-day delivery service in Dallas and Houston for Kroger pharmacy patients. The new service will empower patients to request delivery for select prescriptions through the Kroger app as soon as their medications are ready for pick up. Patients will still have the traditional option of scheduling delivery with the pharmacy staff.

Since 2020, ScriptDrop has offered prescription delivery for patients of certain Kroger Family of Pharmacies. In 2023, the company expanded access for patients in King Soopers, Ralphs and Columbus to schedule prescription delivery via the retailer’s app. This further expansion will bring the same access to patients in Dallas and Houston.

“Our collaboration with Kroger Family of Pharmacies to continue providing patients with convenient and reliable prescription delivery options represents a significant step forward in using technology to meet the evolving needs of healthcare customers,” said Amanda Epp, CEO of ScriptDrop.

“Kroger and ScriptDrop's collective efforts aim to deliver essential healthcare services to patients with the greatest needs,” said Bill Shinton, vice president of operations at Kroger Health. “The availability of this feature helps bridge gaps in care and provide a seamless care experience.”

Patients in Dallas and Houston can take advantage of the service, when applicable, by selecting the delivery option in the Kroger app once notified that their prescription is ready. If patients have questions, they can learn more by speaking with their local Kroger pharmacy team.
