1 Strive Pharmacy customer service number — how to find it and use it effectively

Locating the correct customer service number

If you need Strive Pharmacy’s customer service number, the most reliable source is a document or channel that came directly from the pharmacy: a prescription label, the sticker on your medication vial, the printed receipt from your last visit, or the official patient portal and billing statement. Retail locations typically print a local number (10-digit format: NPA-NXX-XXXX) on receipts; mail-order and specialty pharmacies often provide a toll-free number (format 1-800-XXX-XXXX) on shipment packing slips and the pharmacy’s website. Always verify any phone number by checking multiple sources before calling.

To avoid scams and misdirected calls, validate the number by comparing it with the number on the pharmacy’s verified business listing (Google Business Profile), the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry entry for the pharmacy, or the contact page of the pharmacy’s official website. If you cannot find consistent information, contact your insurer’s pharmacy help line or the state board of pharmacy (searchable via NABP.org) to confirm the correct corporate or location phone number.

What to have ready before you call

Being organized before you call reduces hold time and increases the likelihood of a first-call resolution. Have these items immediately available: prescription number (Rx), patient full name and date of birth, the phone number on file, your pharmacy account number or patient ID, and current insurance information. For insurance you should know the BIN, PCN and Group numbers printed on the front of your prescription card, plus your member ID.

Prescription details: Rx number, medication name, dosage, refill status and last fill date.

Insurance/billing: BIN/PCN/Group/Member ID and the card’s phone number for pharmacy benefits.

Identity & contact: full name, DOB, address, and the phone number and email you want on file.

Also prepare specific questions or desired outcomes: whether you need a transfer, prior authorization, cost estimate, or urgent shipment. Typical call times vary: local retail issues are often resolved within 5–15 minutes, while prior-authorizations or billing disputes can take 24–72 hours. For mail-order shipments, standard processing takes 7–10 business days for first fills and 3–7 days for refills, so ask for expedited shipping costs if timing is critical.

When to call the customer service number vs other channels

Call the customer service number when you need real-time answers — e.g., to confirm a refill is ready, report an adverse reaction, request an urgent transfer, or resolve a payment/insurance denial. For urgent clinical issues (possible overdose, anaphylaxis, severe side effects) contact emergency services or your prescriber, then notify the pharmacy about the incident. For routine tasks like reordering a 90-day maintenance medication or checking shipment status, the pharmacy’s secure online portal or automated refill system can be faster and available 24/7.

Use email or the website’s secure messaging for non-urgent documentation requests, appeals, or to submit non-standard payment forms. Documented channels create written records that are useful for disputes: a ticket number from a phone call plus a follow-up secure message/email is best practice. If a response isn’t provided within the pharmacy’s stated SLA (often 48–72 hours), escalate using the steps in the next section.

Sample call script and escalation process

Here is a concise script to use when you call: “Hello, my name is [Full Name], DOB [MM/DD/YYYY]. My Rx number is [Rx#]. I’m calling because [state issue concisely: e.g., ‘I need a refill processed today,’ ‘I received a billing charge that I don’t recognize,’ or ‘my shipment is missing’]. Can you confirm your name, a ticket or reference number, and estimated time to resolution?” Asking immediately for the agent’s name and a reference number creates an audit trail.

If the agent cannot resolve: request escalation to the pharmacy manager or clinical pharmacist; note the escalation ticket number.

Still unresolved: ask for corporate customer service or the pharmacy’s patient relations email. Request a written confirmation of next steps, timeline and contact person.

If the issue is regulatory (improper dispensing, privacy violation, billing fraud) file a complaint with your state board of pharmacy (look up at NABP.org) and, if Medicare/Medicaid is involved, contact CMS via cms.gov for beneficiary appeals.

Keep a concise log of each contact: date/time, person spoken to, ticket number, and promised resolution time. If the pharmacy gives an estimated cost for expedited services, request the exact dollar amount and whether it will be billed to you or to the insurer; typical expedited shipping fees range from $10–$40 depending on carrier and speed.

Privacy, security and recordkeeping best practices

Every legitimate pharmacy is subject to HIPAA; agents should only request the minimum necessary information to verify identity. Do not provide full Social Security numbers over the phone. If asked for sensitive numbers, offer alternative verification: confirming the last four digits of a member ID, your DOB, or the mailing address on file. If the agent requests payment by phone, confirm the payment processor name and obtain a receipt number.

After resolution, archive emails, screenshots of the portal, the reference numbers from phone calls, and any receipts. Pharmacies retain dispensing records per state law (commonly 2–7 years depending on jurisdiction), so preserving your own evidence for at least 12 months is prudent for billing disputes or appeals. If you suspect fraud or you’re not satisfied with customer service, use the documented escalation path and regulatory resources (NABP and CMS) to protect your rights.
