A partial fill is a prescription from the pharmacy that does not include the full quantity prescribed by your doctor. A completion fill is the remaining amount.
Once you try to place a refill order, the mobile app or Web Pharmacy will let you know if there are any prescriptions that you cannot refill. An example when this will happen is when you try to refill a schedule 2 drug using the mobile app or Web Pharmacy.
You will be notified if you order contains prescriptions that are expired or do not have any refills remaining. You will be able to place the refill order in such cases but your pharmacy may contact your doctor before processing your order.

If you are signed up for refill reminders, you will receive pick-up reminders from us once your prescription is ready for pick up. In some cases, you will also receive a reminder when the prescription is going to be restocked.

Please contact your pharmacy directly for more information.
You can change your pickup location while you're refilling the prescription. If you've already requested the fill, you will need to contact your pharmacy to change pickup locations.
Prescription management
Our app only allows you to manage your current prescriptions. Please work with your doctor and local Kmart pharmacy to request a new prescription.
Yes! You can manage your pet's prescriptions if they are on file at Kmart. You can add your pet to your account by going to Family Care option and adding the pet there. You will need to know your pet’s date of birth as recorded at the pharmacy as well as the prescription number from one of their current prescriptions.
The date of birth for your pet must match what the pharmacy has on record, otherwise our system will not be able to create the account. If your pet is over 18 years old, you will need to contact the pharmacy directly and have them change the date of birth to a minor’s birthdate so you can add them as a minor.
In addition, some pharmacists might add invalid characters and numbers to the pet’s name, for example, Fluffy (K9). Unfortunately, these special characters will prevent your pet from being registered successfully. To fix this your pharmacist will need to update your pet’s name to not include these special characters and numbers.
If you select a prescription from the Rx List, the fill history section on the Drug details page will display your fill history from the time that you first created your account onwards.
Prescriptions may disappear for a few reasons:
-
The script may be hidden.
To unhide the script, go to your prescription list, tap the icon with 3 bars and an arrow on the top right hand side of your screen, and choose Unhide prescriptions from the pop up list.
-
Your script may be expired or have 0 refills left.
The system hides expired or 0 refills left prescriptions after a year. If you call the pharmacy, they should still have it on file and can give you the information.
You can change your hide/unhide settings by going to Account and toggling the Hide expired prescriptions and Hide zero refill prescriptions on or off.
-
Your script may be in a pending status.
For instance, it may have been sent to the doctor for approval or be under review by the pharmacy. In these situations, if you wait for a period of time, the script should show up again in your list. If you have concerns, please call the pharmacy to check on the script.
