Search Criteria
The Pharmacy Index Search is updated weekly. Users should enter one of the following pieces of information:
- The 6-digit vendor ID number assigned by the state
- The 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI)
- The pharmacy state license number
- The name of the pharmacy
- The name of the city, county, or ZIP code where the pharmacy is located
Filters are available to select subsets of the data:
- "Region" identifies the geographic location of a pharmacy; refer to HHS Region (PDF)
- "Program" identifies the state programs the pharmacy is enrolled with (e.g. CHIP, CSHCN, HTW, or KHC)
- "Delivers" identifies pharmacies that provide a no-cost delivery service
- "Mail Order" identifies pharmacies that are mail-order services
Different combinations of text and filters can be used. When searching by name or city, the string of letters entered will return all records that match that string. For example, a search of "Ac" will return records for "ACare" through "Action". To capture all records, enter the percent symbol (“%”) in any text field. If your search does not produce the expected results, refine the criteria making it less specific, such as entering only the first letter of a name.

The returned search results will match the initial criteria identified.
