Pharmacy

Children’s Mercy operates several pediatric outpatient pharmacies to fill medications written by providers from Children's Mercy. Because we only serve children, we provide an extra level of safety and expertise. We are also able to compound many unique medications and formulations to meet your child’s needs. If your Children’s Mercy provider prescribes compounded medications, please consider having these sent to one of our pharmacies.
Filling your child’s prescriptions
We only fill prescriptions for patients written by Children’s Mercy providers. If you would like to get your child’s medicine at a Children’s Mercy pharmacy, tell your nurse or provider and they will send the prescription to the pharmacy electronically. In some cases, they may hand you a printed prescription to bring to the pharmacy.
New prescriptions for patients being seen onsite can be ready for the same day pick up Our Meds to Beds Program offers bedside delivery for patients transitioning home from their Adele Hall inpatient stay.
We work with most commercial insurance carriers and several state Medicaid programs. Financial assistance may be coordinated for eligible patients.
We offer convenient mail delivery of prescriptions and refills to patients in Missouri and Kansas. Ask our pharmacy team how to set up mail delivery arrangements.
Refilling prescriptions
For quick and easy prescription refills, you can call the pharmacy and request a refill using our automated phone system.
If your provider did not give refills, then we will contact them to send us a prescription for refills. Please allow up to 3 business days for these medications to be ready for pickup.
Transferring prescriptions
