ORLANDO, Fla., July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, one of the country's largest combined specialty and home delivery pharmacies, is proud to announce it received Mail Service Pharmacy¹ reaccreditation from URAC for its home delivery pharmacy services.

"URAC accreditation sets high standards for health care quality. Reaccreditation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and safety. It also underscores the hard work and dedication of our team members who continually uphold these high standards of quality for our organization and our patients," she says.

The URAC accreditation process serves as a framework to improve business processes by benchmarking organizations against nationally recognized standards. The rigorous process requires applicants to submit policies, procedures, and other organizational information that is followed by a review. AllianceRx Walgreens Prime home delivery pharmacy was originally accredited in 2018. Reaccreditation is effective from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2024.
