The site is easy to navigate. They also offer a rewards card. * Walmart's online website offers a Specialty Pharmacy. Walmart customers with chronic, complex diseases and health conditions. Prescriptions for such conditions often require special handling and patient support above and beyond what the typical pharmacy can provide. Along with the two previous Pharmacies, Walmart also offers the same type of service as well. They don't however offer a rewards card. * BiMart's online Pharmacy offers a membership Advantage Prescription Pricing Program. It is a very basic site, not a lot of bell's and whistle's. They do offer online refill, and vaccinations (only during specific times). * Walgreen's online website offers all the things the four previous Pharmacies do, but much, much, much more!! This is my favorite. A very professional appearance. I would recommend to anyone.
