Find Pharmacy Stores

Overview

• ZIP code to search near.

Optional Parameters

address (string)

• Default: None

Returns

A StoreSearchResult containing:

• stores — list of matching pharmacy stores, each with:
  • name — store name
  • store_number — store number
  • store_close_time — store closing time
  • pharmacy_close_time — pharmacy closing time
  • address — intersection, city, and ZIP code

Notes

This is typically the first step in the prescription transfer flow: check_transfer_eligibility (verify the prescriptions can be moved) is often run first, followed by find_pharmacy_stores to search near the patient's ZIP code, then get_pharmacy_hours for the chosen store, and finally transfer_prescription to submit the transfer.
